Analysis of Poem
Write on me, tell me your inner thoughts.
Sell yourself like you've been bought,
Fill the pen up with ink you ought... to
Write something people can relate
Let those words come to you, and to you congradulate,
Forget this life of sin, this is your nasty escape.
Let those demons out, call on them all eight
Put that fire behind your words not in front of the gate
A hidden message, behind this voice you've chosen
It was waiting to speak, but all of a sudden frozen.
You cannot use any weapon of destruction to bust it open.
Let's wait a bit as the time ticks on that clock,
Thinking so hard we didn't hear a knock
Poems that are expressed like a journal
Allow me to be formal.
