Poetry is my gene
It's not rude or mean
Poetry is what
Completes the story
Of my life
It keeps me going,
And I don't even
Have to take my
Anger out by just
Using some crazy
Outrageous weapon
Or knife
Poetry is my gene
It gives me quiet
A bit of peace
Because now I'm
A follower of the
True maker himself
Poetry keeps me
Out of the dark
That's what had
Changed my whole
And complete heart
