Shut Up and Write (Posted 9/9/2022)
when I first arrived at DUP
was still bright eyed
wanted to explore my creative side
had a few people look my way
built me up as their play thing
when done they tried to push me aside
but I refused to die
fought back and became the bad guy
a new generation came
the ones before left or changed
I just been trying to find my place
amongst the mundane
do I hold resentment?
fuck yeah I still hold resentment
those same poets act like such victims
writing for attention
about million times I could have gave up
but I tried to push that out of my mind
told myself shut up and write
kept to myself and wrote my best work
don't think I'll live up to that anymore
felt I was doing something special
still as I tried
coudn't get away from drama
some people are just bad for the soul
figured the best way to get back
was to live my life
tell my story
and hit back if necessary
now that it is coming to an end
it just reminds me that I never fit in
and I did it for me
I'll keep writing
I welcome anyone to read my work
it just won't be here.

Sometimes it is best to write for self and not others for as you said some folks have gone yet other have stay but chose not to like or comment for sure it's time to get off the pity party band wagon, for That's why we are here it's not about the likes nor the comments for sure we are here to exchange and express our thoughts for you have the ability and skills to articulate your thoughts and insight and knowledge and wisdom with thoughts and insight and imagination from your own experience for one never know what someone else is going through in there own personal life for sure inspiration is a powerful thing in the right hand putting pen to paper and let the chips fall where they made you are right up of a special kind of breed remember it's not over when you lose it's over when you quit living your best life ever do it for you and no one else but we all have an opinion and we all got something to say just drop the 🎤 MIC 🔥 🔥 🔥 and let the thoughts Play mind games👊😉✍️👏 Respect BROTHER POET ✍️👍👊💯🪬 SHAMAN 🪬
