I'm Tempted...

Poetry is Expression, but after a reputation, you thrive to make an impression that will linger and draw more listeners or readers. I'm not immune. Nobody is...

To hear my every listener snap;
To feel another roar of applause;
To watch you cheer, and clap;
Not by a fruit, but the above woes.

To impress everyone in the crowd.
To appeal to the entire audience.
To make a name, make you proud.
At the cost of my poetry's essence;

To express myself from my inside,-
But filter words occurring divinely;
To alter the feels I dare not to hide;
To be a 'warrior', fighting carefully.

To maintain a great reputation;
To praise opinions over my inner;
To judge me by your every reaction,
To speak my mind so as to be a winner.

To forget why I started to write;
To fear to compose a bad piece.
But no, this time, I'll get it right,-
I'll speak my mind, through a hit or miss.

To reach for my crude thoughts;
To set the bar where I wish to;
To look past my errors and faults.
To pen for me, and not for you!

To make you listen to my soul.
To command the audience of your heart;
To display the beauty in my every flaw;
Cuz speech isn't science, its an art.

Keep Smiling
