I Am A Poet

I wrote this when I was 12yrs on a Poetry day. I do it because i can,I can because I want to, I want to because you said I couldn't. - Kiyaga Lyttle Cephas (Kay)

I'm a poet,
Who loves poetry and rapping
I wonder what Uganda's
Writing, Poetry and Rapping,
Will be like in the year Twenty Twenty,
I hear onomatopeia,
Sound of drums and,
Guitar playing, Poetry in my minds,
I see letters stringing in minds,
And ink bleeding on a pad,
I want to be what I wanted,
And What I'm,
I'm a poet,
Who loves poetry and rapping.
I pretend to bake and chef,
I feel poetry and rapping,
In my arteries,
I touch the sky, a pen and a pad
As the representative of myself,
I worry about the ambiguity,
My friends finds in me,
I shed ink when my pen and writing pads,
Get used up whilst writing,
I cry when I see my family,
And friends in pain and I cantexpress my feelings,
I'm a poet
Who loves poetry and writing.
I understand writing,
The incantatory and Onomatopeia,
The best way of expression,
I say no love like mine,
I'm loved and love everybody,
And everywhere
I dream of writing,
And being replite with writing,
Poetry and rapping,
More songs, more poems,
Publish books and make videos,
Imma be like 2Pac, Pablo Neruda,
William Shakespear, Maya Angelou,
Myself and Robert Frost, Ngügï Wa Thiong'O,
Achiebe Chinua, Okot P' Bitek.
Hope all my dreams comes true,
I'm a poet,
Who loves Poetry and Rapping.
