"scribo ergo sum"


Yo hip hop started out in the heart.
Now everybody tryna chart.

Come on baby light my fire
Everything you drop is so tired
Music is supposed to inspire
How come we aint gettin no higher?

~from "Superstar" on the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Album


Man i need to start WRITING again. I've been going through a word famine. I mean I write up here and talk about my life and the things I think about and stuff, but I haven't really been writing my poetry. I used to love writing poetry, but now I shy away from the pen. It seems like everything I write that's not meant to be prose just doesn't flow right...like I lost the gift. I used to write beautiful pieces without any substance and now that I have things to say that have substance, I can't see the beauty. Perhaps it's there though. Maybe this is all apart of being humble of whatever God has gifted me with...cuz people tell me they like what I write. They could just be being nice. :o) Whatever the case... I miss what I had before and I'm very much out of practice. That's something I could do this summer.
