The Takeover

Poetry,
it’s in my blood, it’s a part of me
The words have a life of their own, so I let them be
And give you a chance to see
And share, a special part of me
The words dance a gig in my head
To their own beat
I don’t wanna keep them in, I gotta let ‘em speak
Gotta let em fall on the sheet
I can’t stop it, it pours from my heart
There’s no turning back once I start
The words take over, take control of me
All this happens when I write poetry
