who i am is not in the definition of ur beliefs<br /> i have every right to keep my head held high and regonize <br /> my beauty both mentally and physically..<br /> you dont define me<br /> you&#039;ve never been webster and you will never be god.<br /> i am a complex being and<br /> my true beauty lies in my state of mind.<br /> physically, i can be all that<br /> but i want ur eyes to see my mind,<br /> your ears to hear my thoughts<br /> and regonize my knowledge<br /> i am poetry...<br /> feel the words that slips off my lips<br /> the emotion that drips off my ink<br /> embrace the aura in every syllable that is written.<br /> Now watch me bring my emotions into your imagination.<br /> it is who i am, i am poetry.


Days, They go by like the hands of a clock waving goodbye
From one number to the next
But I find no inspiration in these words I write.
It used to mend my pain when they flowed from my limbs
and found its way onto my paper but now..now
I am a prisoner, a prisoner of doubt
and my mind is only a mere vessel soaked in fear
but on the outside, I am beautiful
glowing with confidence
still, i am afraid that you can see me
Can you see that i'm scared?


I am my devil in disguise
and it's no longer criticism
i am a bully of my own
I tell myself what i can't do
I am a battered woman
i've been beaten down
by my own thoughts
and i write to escape
the abuse of my mind
but she's there,she's always here
constantly nagging me
Pulling me down, so I doubt.


From a distance, you say nothing moves me
because i find no inspiration in these things i do
my body is just a mere vessel
controlled by the doubt of my mind
So i sit back,
i sit on my talents,
i sit on my abilities
because in my mind,
i am a convict of my inabilities
i am a prisoner of doubt.
