Put down the pen... & walk away slowly.

im not sure how this will sound considering the fact that im a "poet".
but sometimes, (more so recently)
ive been getting so... hmm...
soooo poetry'd out that im like
IF I HEAR ANOTHER SNAP
OR "MMMM" I MIGHT KILL SOMEONE!
okay that was a bit extreme,
but does anyone else ever get like that?
sometimes i wonder if my "poet friends" are missing out on life..
i wonder when the last time some of them took a walk in the park,
or enjoyed an evening out
that didn't include an open mic,
or spitting on the train,
or a chyper on the corner.
it sounds kind of odd to say,
but there is life beyond poetry.
and you don't have to agree with me..
but its MY blog so i can say what ever the hell i want to.
so i don't really care if you agree or not :) !
but, sometimes i just wanna put my notebook on the highest shelf of my bookcase,
and just let it collect a little dust. i mean, a little dust wont hurt.
....... right?

that is one main reason why .... i like to stay away alot.... because sometimes i cant appreciate the beauty in things that has been RUNNED DOWN to the ground by [so many events ,.... workshops the whole nine] okay so maybe thats a lil bit extreme ....

but WE as in URBAN WORD ....
neeed to get away from all of these cyphers how are we suppose to live if ....
we only write... we need to breathe and see the beauty in things.
and how can we do that. if all we can do is pick up the pen and kill.
but then its like apply that to life .... and then you are truely living ....

in conclusion .... dont worry about it. people need to realize they are a person before they are a poet. and thats always going to be the case.

Well I mean... when i'm not on the team and doing team shit... I do do fun things. (hah I said dodo) I think poetry like everything else, should be done in moderation.One day I'll be at a workshop but the next day I'll skip one to chill with my friends after school. If you allow things to take over your life, they will.
