One day I want to be that poet. <br />The one you recognize bye the flow the drifting words. <br /> With the lift in spirits. <br />And killing with words with knives of purity, truth, and honesty. <br />Ones who’s beats flow and so unique, so unrecognizable, so daring, so sound. <br />Ones who’s beats flows with a perfect rhythm, perfect melody, perfect sound. <br />I want to be heard! <br />I want to be known! <br />I want to be someone! <br />I want to be that poet! <br /> <br /> Not like Edgar Allen Poe and his sad and painful, weak, dreary, and full of depressions. <br />Not like Langston Hughes and his love, and his daily experiences, and his kindness, love and affections. <br /> <br />NO! <br /> <br />Not like them. <br />Like me. <br />Because….. <br />I want to be heard! <br />I want to be known! <br />I want to be someone! <br />I want to be that poet! <br /> <br />To be the poet that people say “ yeah that’s the poet and they know it the can make a rhyme any time and with each phrase or a line they got the time.” <br />To hell I do! <br />To hell I can! <br /> To hell I will cuz I am... <br />I AM! <br />That poet…<br /><br />Alexis Sizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-poet-we-all-want-to-be/
