"My Essence as a POET"
  by Dark Virgo


~...No explanation need...~

I switched up my style and profile because some figured out my sequence// offensively I’m nice but I’m working on my defense// I was told I had a reason for breathing// I give meaning of existence, which could explain why I’m overachieving//

I’ve been publicly speaking to multitudes of people who would otherwise have become indecent// some got the food but no seasoning// which means words without meaning// so that means I have to salt the earth whenever it’s needed// when I speak, I know most don’t perceive it// but I have conceived everything that this world has needed//

Most have limbs but no roots, so they’re bare and leafless// but me, I adapt to all four of the seasons// in the Spring, I bud, bloom, buzz, and bite with the best of them// in Summertime, I’m hot, I burn bright without giving in// in the Fall, I don’t fall back, I’m still a perfect 10// and in the Winter, friends call me burner, because they know I’ll heat again//

But now I’m reaching in// grabbing all that I can before I’m pinned again// I’ll sleep again if people would just understand my sentences// they’re sentencing me to a lifetime of hardships with hard discipline// hard mix of criticism, for being one of God’s children//

I’ve been in pain and not to mention been a name that no one mentioned// but I see in other dimensions, I have a thirst that nothing’s quenching// I used to say I had a poet's soul, but I realized I have the soul of a christian// because it's only through God can I receive that of a poet's wisdom// Do you know that a few have even told me I would never top "Visions"?// LOL...come on people, that's funny, go ahead and laugh with me//

However, I am not consumed by flattery but even I struggle with being opinionated and still remaining humble// But I cannot place myself in a self-absorbed bubble// For it pops too easily, and I'm into longevity// And as I stand before my mirror and repeat this soliloquy the glass speaks to me and this is what it's telling me...You are the essence of music// You are the root of rhymes// You're poetry in motion// You'll stand the test of time// You're the reason to melody// You're the source of beats// So if you're looking for the truth, you'll find the proof in me//

~ And this is the essence of me as a poet ~

God Bless!

Huh?? You truly are full of yourself, honey... I can't find nothing great about a poem praising yourself. I mean, you have skills. I like your writing, but that was before you tried to MAKE me like your writings. Let the poem speak for itself. No need to toot your own horn. It takes away credibility, and that's what this write did in my opinion. Horrible... you're better than that Dark Virgo.
