*✯☆ You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.~Maya Angelou ☆✯*

I bleed ink and breathe metaphors;
Snort words like cocaine and mainline verbs;
I fiend for paper like a convict for pussy;
I move for no man but an ink pen can push me;
I cry in ultraviolet and sweat in ball point;
Inhale artistry like daVinci rolled a joint;
When I blink I see letters; and when I’m asleep
I wet-dream about lyrical seductions stroking me deep;
I live on pages both digital and loose-leaf blue-lined;
My reality is a notebook and an altered state of mind;
Rhyme-tatted to the bone with adjectives and nouns;
I’m free in these bars; unchained, and double-bound;
I’m covered in ink stains;
Have expressions in my veins;
Melody in my brains;
Spend vocabulary like change;
I see what you won’t;
Create what you don’t;
Wear my lexicon for clothes;
Naked under my prose;
I’m strung out with conviction.
I shoot up without contrition;
Life is my affliction;
                                                                        Poetry? My addiction.

*Found this and i absolutely love it*
