You don't have to be "deep"
To be a poet
Your truth is raw
Unscripted, unrehearsed
Unstructured .
Opens more ears to hear you
Speak
You are the voice of the people
When they cannot say
What they mean to say
Poet Laureate
All the time, everyday.

A lot of people try so hard to write an amazing piece . But your best work hits you like a train that doesn't stop at railroad crossings.
