The Greatest

This whole Poetry thing

Started as an escape for me

A place I go when

My thoughts need organizing

Because I can’t go forward

With them so unruly

Can I write something happy?

I guess we will have to see

However

I embrace the darkness

Truly

Whether or not

You like my writing

Whatever emotion

It suddenly has you feeling

Touching your soul

Is my ability

Maybe my words

Made you feel guilty

But

Only God can Judge

And

They’re not the jury

This isn’t even a trial

Why all the fury?

You’re the only one

Who looks unhappy

So every time

You see me smiling

Know

I’m married to this pen

This pad is my boxing ring

And

I won’t quit until

I’m the Greatest
