AUTHENTIC?

AUTHENTIC?

 AUTHENTIC?

My heart bleeding;
My pen inking;
Me thinking:

I'm not feigning,
fibbing,

While feeding
souls, knitting
words, and killing
in you, that feeling
that stops you from chilling.

No doubting:
My words are living,
Not just enchanting, appealing
They're the lives I've lived and I'm living.

Hohpraize.
