STILL BIRTH

They say am a natural born poet,

And to die with unsaid words would be my greatest sin,

Like wasted talents must be related to dead dreams,

Must be rebated to how often i was told I wouldn't make the team

Now am looking for a new path to get me to a limousine,

But writing on a blog won’t get me to the front page of a magazine,

When am gone, let them think and say the best about me,

So am investing my life with the words on your screen

I know sometimes you feel like giving in with a scream,

Drop the knife, ropes and stay away from the morphine,

The greatness of your best comes from your self esteem,

Keep your heart’s pumping with the royal flush of a fantasy

We live long after death but only with our legacy,

Don’t die at birth like the big brother i have never seen,

Cause we need you here to give us the light to live in this reality,

Keep these words with you for all of eternity.
