Something to believe in...

Well I spent the better part of the night with myself thinking about how do I raise the bar when it comes to poetry?
Speaking in subtitled mini verses,
Running around inside my head...
Wishing that I knew all the questions,
not all of the answers instead..
I know what people like to read,
and know what I have to say..
But I don't think I'll ever be able
to go about it that way.
So from now on out I make this decree, I'm taking a vow of spouting poetry...
Poet's have known this long and far, as one day, you might see..
{in your car}..

Spouting poetry while walking down the road,
helps you quickly forget about your heavy load...
Maybe this little piece of me..
will help to set you free..

Now I can't take this with me into my real world..
because I might taint all the boy's and girls...
I'd rant and ramble at the table and no one would get me..
but then again, it might make them unable to forget me...
So I'll sit down here.. and make my point as clear..
that I've found something to believe in..

I met her in a past lifetime I'm sure..
and she's bound to have my cure..
I know it might sound silly..for this old hillbilly
to know the difference in what to believe in.

So I took a vow, to myself and to the world
I look around now, and see the thoughts I've hurled
but I know out of anything that's better than sin
is having a life with something to believe in.

Now, You might not understand, upon this I must do..
but after you understand, it'll be like you always knew.
It'll come to you easy, like a winter sunday morning...
and to you my friends, I only have one warning..

Be yourself and express is daily and proudly
whisper it,
holar it,
even say it loudly
that it all begins within
when you've got something to believe in.
