Graffiti

A Poem by shawnt5604

my words spray
like an exploding can of paint
i make graffiti today

with my thoughts the creativity flows
what I'll think of next
who knows

feels so great
finally speaking my mind
starting to get a grip
on these new times

i stand up tall
and speak my word
with this pen
it gets absurd
crazy like a man on the mic losing the beat
i pick it up
and now I teach
you all what was going through my mind
all along

this feeling
its ecsatic
starting to realize
I'm not bad at it

keep it going
i think I like it
open minded
good timing
enjoying how my thoughts
are now rhyming
just let it go...

this was a life
i once hated
took being reborn
to learn how to shape it

into what I know today
as I love it
couldn't see me as everything I wanted to be
when I already was it

materialistic
forget about it
faith and love
stand up and shout it

doesn't take much
to keep a content man happy
but it would take luck
to impress a rich man
sadly

so I'll take this life
and put it on my own pedistol
like a theif I stole
the happiness from my own sadness
I scroll
through everything I've written throughout the years
so many tears
on old peices of paper
so glad I learned
to wipe them off later
I rejoice
that I learned the sound of my own voice
I'm my own number one
like a man teaching his son-
stay positive
you can do this
don't loose it
keep going
now you're showing
the true person inside

feeling like an artist
I paint graffiti
learning to always love
being me

This was wonderful. I personally find it very hard for me to write something that rhymes AND has purpose. You were able to accomplish that. This piece had great imagery and flow as well. I feel that were you broke your stanzas was well thought out. That really makes a difference when you are writing poetry.

Anyways, I agree. Stay positive. Great job. :) Question, have you gone to school for writing or is this all natural?
