Every song hits different
when your mind is open-
lyrics breathe into me
and I exhale these words.
My brain thinks in rhymes;
alliteration and metaphor
come naturally and flow
onto these blank pages.
I can draw inspiration
from just about anything
including mundane routines
and profound experiences.
I was made to write poetry-
it's as essential as oxygen,
as integral to my being
as the blood in my veins.
