The Lost Poet Diaries

Mic drop

Thoughts couldn't be contained

They were never truly tame

I was never the same

After always taking blame

For words that weren't mine

Walking on a thin line

Of self-destruct and just fine

Now I'm on my own time

Now I'll talk, you listen

Watch my skin as it glistens

Inner self has arisen

I'm all done reminiscing

It's my show, so stay silent

You were always too violent

My eyes are no longer crying

In the spotlight, they are shining

So, listen close and clearly

Until you really hear me

I don't want you to fear me

And I mean that sincerely

Keeping composure, remain steady

Always arrive strong and ready

I was lost, I'll admit

But now I've found my wit

Playing with words just for fun

Never gets old, I'm never done

I strive to constantly impress

While you're blinded by stress

They always expected less

Created a miracle from a mess

Never shrinking, always growing

Can't see hate when I'm glowing

Don't mean to sound self-centered

It's my confidence I have entered

Only trying to spread inspiration

To spark up your admiration

Even a simple conversation

Can validate real appreciation

But don't tell me where to look

Following chapters in my own book

You are here for the applause

I'm the reason, I'm the cause

Learning to value my own presence

Soak yourself in my essence

It's your last chance to see

My words being set free

Choose which ones you'll believe

It's all about how they're perceived

Lights go off, I'm still standing

My voice may seem too demanding

Perfect aim with a perfect landing

No restrictions, no longer banning

Truths that should be told

Like I said, it will never get old

Always remaining strong and bold

There's an idea for you to hold

No more movements, time stops

Time to connect the dots

Hearts beats fast, skin is hot

That is when the mic drops
