I'll Write a song

I'll Write a song

A Poem by Douglas Levi Gribbins
"

It's a song, about writing a song.

"
I remember taking this walk and
I'm hearing my mind, it's trying to talk
I'm bored, got my life on board, I got the chalk
It's tight in my grip, or so I think I ain't gonna trip
I'm trying to control my lips, but I'm singing so I don't f*cking flip
Am I having a dream or am I balancing choices and where to lean
I don't know what's right and I don't know whats wrong
I don't wanna fight this fight, "I'll just write a song."
But what if someday I get discovered, could I take care of my mother?
God bless her heart, God, please don't take her like you did my brother.
But f*ck It i'm just talking and walking while my jaw and spine inside are locking.
Though I might fall and be disabled, until I die, unable to write, you'll still see me here.
Writing, fighting for my life just to inspire you.
But I'll say 
-Chorus-
Inside every song, is a writers heart, a noise, their voice
With every line, with every word of their choice
It shows and spreads emotions, whether their crying or smiling
But in the end I can't feel a thing, just give me a pen and page, I'll write that.
(x2)
-Chorus-

I liked the walk in the poem.
"Inside every song, is a writers heart, a noise, their voice
With every line, with every word of their choice
It shows and spreads emotions, whether their crying or smiling
But in the end I can't feel a thing, just give me a pen and page, I'll write that.
(x2)"
I agree and I liked the above lines a lot. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I understand the process of such...writing a song is a liberation, sacrifice and release...whatver our mode or mood, nicely done hon xo

For some people, music is a fantastic, if not their only salvation for when dark times occur. Your poem really showcases that and is indeed quite inspirational.
