Pay Me In Applauds Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

Pay me in Applauds...
Surround me with art; I am a painter, which means I can draw your attention with a stencil.
Cover me with songs; I am a musician, which means I can hit you like high notes on a falsetto.
Imprison me in words; I am an author, which means I can write your wrongs with a pencil.
Surround me with creativity; I am an Architect, which means I can recreate your fondest memories.
Hit me with the bass; I am a dancer, which means my heart only beats like 808's.
Surround me with books; I am a reader, which means I've been around the world.
Abandon me in serenity; I am a creative, which means I can formulate my own happiness.
Captivate me with rhymes; I am poetry, which means I can tell your whole story in an ode.
Enshroud me with lyrics; I am the rhythm, which means I can melodically serenade your soul.
Entangle me with poems; I am the rhapsody, which means I can overcome you with emotion.
Sedate me with lullabies; I am a dreamer, which means nothing can be out of reach for me.
Keep me away from money; I am a nonconformist, which means you can pay me in applauds.
