throw the words at the paper
see what you see
find a poem
be who you be

throw the words at the paper
write what you see
find a poem
be who you be

throw the words at the paper
it's black on white
just write
late at night

throw the words at the paper

throw the words at the paper

i do it for me

throw the words at the paper

or sadness
or happiness
or all the above

throw the words at the paper

throw the words at the paper
let me know your soul
let me know you have a whole

say i wrote that mile
say you been there
or you ain't goin' there

on that little screen
be a poet
and know it
