I’ve recently been evaluating what I’m dong in this world we call Spoken Word Poetry
For I am simply a writer whose writings end up being things people call poems
My writings are therapy for all the things I go through in life
They are away of exploring my thoughts and feelings
And most times after exploring those thoughts and feelings with paper and pen
I no longer wish to explore them again
And that is why I’m evaluating my place in this world called Spoken Word Poetry
I am finding it difficult to place myself in the same emotional stat I was in when I wrote the poem
