OUTLAW POET
Don’t ask the outlaw poet questions if
there’s answers you don’t want to hear.
The truth is in words that rhyme and
the flowing of a tear.
He will show you the demons in the dark
that you fear.
He will bring you into the light and
show you all that is dear.
The outlaw poet has a rebel inside.
He takes on life without missing a
stride.
He says what’s on his mind, he says how
he feels.
He says things people can relate to, he
talks about what’s real.
The outlaw poet knows all your
thoughts, it’s like he’s been in your head.
He knows how you’re feeling, what
you’ve done, and the things you’ve said.
He makes you see all the passion that
life has to give.
He makes you face the sorrow and still
want to live.
The outlaw poet is a renegade with
words that rhyme.
He speaks of life’s beginnings and the
end of time.
With every word he writes there’s a
message he sends.
He talks of roads traveled that take
you all the way to the end.
The outlaw poet sees all that you see.
He knows the chains that bind you and
how to set you free.
He hears the voices that you think only
speak to you.
He knows the way when you don’t know
what to do.
The outlaw poet can taste the blood
from the battles of life.
He’s seen bad karma that will cut your
soul like a knife.
He lives in reality or so it may seem.
His fantasies are his reality and his
reality is a dream.
The outlaw poet knows your deep dark
secrets.
You don’t have to worry, so have no
regrets.
Just keep living your life and try to
be brave,
Because what the outlaw poet knows he
will take to the grave.
The outlaw poet knows everywhere you’ve
been.
He knows about your dark side, he knows
about your sin.
He knows these things because they’re
just a part of life, you see.
I know all this because . . . the
outlaw poet is me.
