I’m long-winded
My friends know
That much is true
How I express myself
In conversation
I can’t make soundbites
For you
I’m often interrupted
My thoughts are disjointed
When I write these things down
I’m often disappointed
I need to be
Expressive
But I want to do so
Succinctly
The only way
To accomplish this
Is to express myself
Through my poetry
I’m not
The greatest
But I do okay
At least
In this format
I can have
My say
I won’t be remembered
Like Langston
Or Maya
But maybe
Some day
My words will set
Your mind on fire
I write for
Myself
Not notoriety
I just like
To express myself
Using
Poetry
