Speaking My Mind Poem by Neeraj Kumar

IT'S TIME TO GET CRAZY
TO SPIT OUT EVERYTHING I'VE HOLDING INSIDE
SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING
WHEN I CAME UP WITH MY
FIRST EVER POEM ' NOT A POET '
GOT NO APPRECIATION
FROM THE GOD DAMN HATERS
DIDN'T STOP BUT I KEPT WRITING MY THOUGHTS AND STARTED POSTING ON INTERNET AS POEMS

I'M NOT TRYING TO BE ANYTHING LIKE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, NEITHER I CAN BE
I'M JUST WRITING DOWN MY THOUGHTS AND WHAT MY MIND'S SAYING
GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
LET'S SORT IT OUT WITH A WORD PLAY!
DEAR POETS WHAT DO YOU SAY?

MY RHYMING SKILLS
GOT YOU CLIMBING HIILS
BUT YOU TRYING STILL
TO BEAT ME BUT I SWEAR I WILL
NEVER GIVE UP, GONNA MAKE YOU GIVE IN

SOMETIMES I THINK WHAT AM I GONNA DO WHEN MY RAGE IS GONE?
SOMETIMES I THINK ALL I DO IS JUST RE WRITE THE SAME POEM WITH JUST NEW WORDS

BUT I'M NOT GONNA STOP
THEY SAY I'M MAKING MOTIVATIONAL THINGS
THAT'S ENOUGH FOR ME TO KEEP MY WORK IN PROGRESS

I KNOW SOMETIMES WHAT I WRITE IS SCARY AND DISTURBING
BUT YOU CAN'T DENY IT'S WORTHY
DON'T CONSIDER ME AS A POET
I'M NOT EVEN A ONE
DEAR HATERS YOU CAN READ MY TWO OLD WORDPLAYS
' NOT A POET ' AND ' THIS IS NOT A POEM '

THEY SAY I'M CRAZY I WRITE ABOUT KILLING AND MURDERS
BUT I'M INSPIRING ENOUGH THAT I WRITE AND TELL PEOPLE ' LOVE YOURSELF '

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHOULD I WRITE ABOUT
AND WHICH WORDS TO USE
SO I WRITE WHAT I SEE BEFORE MY EYES AND SIMPLE WORDS AND THEN FUSE

SO I DON'T CARE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT
I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING
I DON'T WANNA WRITE THE OLD CLICHE THINGS
I WANNA WRITE REAL LIFE CRAPS AND STRUGGLE
I DON'T NEED YOUR OPINION
I KNOW WHAT I DO
I KNOW WHAT I AM
I'M JUST SPEAKING MY MIND
