Started off as a poet,
writing one verse at a time.
Right now, I'm a writer,
writing one day at a time,
cheating destiny,
meeting destinations.
Those that I never set out on,
those that halted my monkey mind,
those that sheltered my restless soul,
those that slowed my throbbing heart.
Excuse me as I write my life.
One day, I'll come back
and read out my life story,
to you, for you.
Call it a deal, shall we?
