It’s Not A Contest
The way one poet’s thoughts are expressed
will naturally be different from the next
Though we all strive to be our best
Remember, poetry is not actually a contest

Let It Out
Poetry will always be an obsession
Storytelling & expression
I’m not going to hold back
Honestly, who has time for that?
If it comes to mind I’m writing it down
I won’t wear chains, won’t be bound
Whatever’s laid on my heart
I’ve got to let it out

Pages
Successfully got my ISP switched over, glad to be back you all!
I hope life’s been treating you all well
I’d love to gather w/my readers
& sit for a spell, just chilling out
Listening to any stories you may
have to tell
As for me, I got a new book of poetry
for my anniversary, it’s a pretty neat read
You’d know the poet if I wrote his name
His work’s been around for ages
It can be pretty inspiring
Watching a fellow poet bleed their feelings out
onto reams & reams of pages

Masculine Tears
Many men were raised up in a time
Where a man ever crying was largely seen
in a sense as a crime that undermined
their masculinity
They were called a sissy or a pantywaist
Humiliated and disgraced
Now, petty whining, I don’t advocate
but sometimes a man crying DOES have it’s place
like if he’s dealing w/a broken heart
if his home & family are falling apart
There’s no shame in expressing grief and pain
it doesn’t make him weak or lame

Dear Poets
Splash your heart, your passion on a page
Forget fads of the moment or what’s all the rage,
To be a slave to those, is to be in a cage
Speak & write from the soul,
That’s what I ask of you,
and never compromise what’s true

Pain
We’ve all heard the saying, pain makes good art
We’ve all at times had our world’s fall apart
So, we can all connect & relate to a broken heart
There is something about it that just grabs hold,
tearing from the gut, down to the soul

Music Therapy (Poetry)
I’ll tell you something that really helps me
Music as therapy,
I love how music can soothe the soul
When you’re feeling down & empty
It can really fill the hole
Whatever you’re dealing with,
just take your music off the shelf
It can say things for you
when you can’t express them yourself
