Lyrical Power

A poem about how my poetry can make an impact on people regardless of where they're backgrounds.

I spit metaphors and similes,
Nouns and verbs,
I spit these words
For the hood and the burbs.

I speak light in the darkness that surrounds me.
Surrounded by drugs, gunshots and poverty
Hope is still in the air
Because God is apart of me.

I'm no hero but I got the hero within
In the midst of all the sin
I still hold on to my mission
Even when others aren't wit it.

I got Lyrical power in these bones
Everyday I write these poems
To show my passion in using spoken words
To be a voice to the unheard.

Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat
Is what I use to tell my story
Through the form of poetry
In hopes that God gets the glory.
