A Poem

I display my lyrical prowess

written words explode from my fingertips but my lips crave to know the taste

what a waste

to be so caught up in the precision

not be free enough to make the decision to break down

let go

flow

like the sea of verbs that ebb and tide in my soul's eye

taking me for an emotional ride on verbal roller coasters

my stomach trembles at the thought of being caught imperfect

afraid to work it like felines on catwalks

my words stalk and haunt me to the highest degree

but I flee

why can’t I set my soul free?
