I'm not a classical poet, bard, or sage,
who's famous for addiction or romanticized rage,
I'm not a believer in judging or hate,
in any of my writings on any body's stage.
I'm boring and wordy, rhyming and smart,
who thinks about life as if it’s an art
to be balanced and created for better, not worse,
with my own talents and gifts on this earth.
I enjoy ideas and themes to think through
the ideas of sound reason and life's virtues
to be considered daily as a path to personal growth
a way that heals people where they are broke.
I don't really gossip, I guess I'm just boring
which is better for me than just sitting and sorting
some fake opinion of someone else's life
when going about my own daily plight.
