Words That Seem Distant
I take comments as inspiration and criticism, because I don't judge; I only love.
I respect those who have a reason to say what no one else’s will,
because if I was that child in the corner who was being bullied;
I would want that voice to be my protection.
If I was that man on the street asking for change,
I would sweep him up and hold him;
because knowing that he needs that money isn't enough,
because his true desire; is that support to hold him up.
Yet, I have made just simple examples, as why I write those words of steel?
I'm just a man, who fears the harm of others.
Like my famous words,
"hear me roar, hear me devour,
yet please don't listen to the echo of cries, that come from my shower."
Yet it reaches to a point of sound, that continuously becomes louder.
Yet it likes an echo of sound shattering from different points of my shower.
Just a fraction of that pie, that I didn't devour.
I'm just a small fragile toy,
yet when you wind me up, I make some noise.
Now listen to the echo of thousands, who shares my voice.
I'm just a man, who respects the atmosphere of a child,
who just couldn't seem to reach his point.
I redirect the imagery of theory, upon a clay figure.
Yet that pen that I used, lead to this amazing picture.
I don't believe that he will live up to reality's expectations.
Maybe this is the reason why it's up for negotiation.
Yet it seems that only a mad scientist,
with mathematical equations would understand my frustration.
Yet see I'm not a genius, I'm just a fan.
I recognize the distance between astronomy and fiction.
Please don't patronize me with religion.
I'm only a man just trying to find out the differences between, what is and what isn't.

I went through a lot of hard life situations, but it never stopped me from trying to make something of myself. Currently, I'm following my dream to become a chef and on the side is the passion I hold deep for poetry. I hope you enjoy my art and my poems. Oh, just one more thing, please comment as much as you can. It motivates me to write, when I have an audience behind me. Also, It really shows when a person responds to my quotes or poems can make you feel that special feeling saying you really can do what you can do. I mean it's like a painter who puts his new work in the gallery for display for all to see, and then turns around to see 10 to 20 people standing around trying to figure out his inspiration, his thoughts, and what lead him there? I love when a person understands me and when their trying to dissect my thoughts. Also, when my work of art can help others cope with their monsters and to help a person become inspired. Thanks a lot. I grew up without a father, but that never stop me from becoming a man; yet I thought life would be easy but it wasn't. The pain that I grew up with was hard, but the thought that grew with inside me was even harder. Could I be a good father, could I contain the pain; could I even forget or could I be something better than what he tried to be. Before I knew it, I woke up a man with pain in his knees, with hair on his face; even with sweat, tears, and blood on his sleeves. The lost of hair, the responsibility of having faith in you and where I worked my hands far pass there capabilities. I believe that I'm a pretty fine man and that one day that I will love my children as mush as my father and mother did... Me and my friend has a group, he does music, rap, making beats, and videos. I help out there and here for the music, raps, and videos. I used to rap myself and we go way back. I join the team and he wants me to lead the poetry side and I agreed. If anyone wants to join, then email me at [email protected] and I'll see what you got. Check out my page: https://www.facebook.com/MafiThePoet
