Just Listen
Words in my head are filled with rage
Instead of screaming, I write them on a page
I can clear my head and say the things I feel
Free to expose the things my mouth won’t reveal
The words in voice rarely come out right
No matter how hard I practice and recite
I’d rather spill the beans in prose or verse
Instead of watered down words I had to rehearse
It’s amazing how little one hears
The words said so close to their ears
But when on paper my thoughts I express
I get immediate response to all my duress
If only people would pay attention
And listen to when I try to mention
The things that really hurt and irk me so
Then rage on paper would not need to be shown

Now you're playing in the key of me! These words are soooo true. It reminds me of the hook in "Raw" off of the new Monica CD.
That's two in a row. Do I get a cookie for that rayne? LOL!
Waantabiskit??
A cool clever narrative matched with a classy rhythm. That's your poem, Blu.
who done pissed you off Blu? Dayum, you were really telling it with this one. I guess you can't be all soft and pink all the time, but sheesh, didn't see this coming.
yes! yes! yes! yes ma'am! i can dig it! sometimes the ONLY way to get someone's immediate attention is to pen some phrases that only they would understand. i know you feelin' me, silly girl! ;)
Peace!
su - compliments on my poems from you means so much.
jc - i wasn't pissed hun, i was just flipping the script for a minute.
iron - thanks and i'd like a bag of white chocolate, oatmeal, cranberry cookies please. kthanx!
jus - I knew you'd understand this poem. That's why i belive in the proverbial saying, "the power of the pen is mightier than the sword."
I owe myself an apology for waiting so long to read your poetry. I’m quite familiar with your other blog but this is my first visit here. I resolve henceforth to never again deprive myself of the pleasure of reading you.
I love your clarity, directness and elegant simplicity. I believe that often the most effective way to convey a complex (or difficult) message is to make the package disarmingly simple. I couldn’t help smiling as I read.
I can relate to this so much. Thanks for sharing! Love it!
