This is the thousandth poem I have written;
I have been looking forward to this day for a very long time.
Poetry took over my life and gave me a reason for my existence;
Now I have a reason to do what I must do. I must write.
Many years have come and gone since I began to write.
I've spoken about my life and death; I've spoken about my future wife.
I've spoken about anything and everything; I have been honest and lied.
I have told you everything I feel inside
And I am left with nothing to hide.
If you want to know me completely,
Then you will have to read all of my poetry.
If you want a glimpse of the real me,
Then find one of my poems and you will find peace, love and empathy.
Sometimes you will find what you did not want to hear;
But I must show you every part of my soul, including the fear.
The dark side, the happiness, the love and the hate;
Everything has now been talked about,
But there is always more I will have to say.
