An only child born under the Scorpio sign
Has created an emotional and passionate creature
I dont do this for you
I do this for me
Sorry if my selfishness proceeds
I do this for the grip of the pen
I do this for the vibrating air that fights to escape my lungs
I do this for the rush that makes me feel alive without leaving marks on my skin
I do this for free therapy
I do this to give you a peak into my soul
Im not an entertainer
Theres no glitz or glamour
I dont tell you what you want to hear
Which is why I would fail as a man
I do this to contain the cornucopia of curse words that are on the tip of my tongue
I do this for those days I breath deep and nearly hyperventilate
I do this to express my biracial pride and watch two races collide in perfect harmony
I do this to quell the nervous chatter
I do this to express my true dorkyness
I do this to hide the smiles so he doesnt know Im smitten with his style
I do this to shake that beautiful stare that pierces thru me
I do this to express my sensuality when its done right
I do this to replace that harsh look I tend to give lately
I do this to prove that Im more than a 5'10 void with curly hair
My words might not roll off my tongue smooth as silk
You see me as me instead of a fictional character I perceive to be
again
I do this for me
Sorry if my selfishness proceeds

| Good stuff. I liked the theme of self-examination, and it feels genuine. Additionally, I find myself impressed by the command of the English language you seem to command. |

"Im not an entertainer" I beg to differ as your poems are more than quite entertaining to read!
This is another great poem. I really enjoy your work and hope to read more |
