I'm Back

They say I'm back but I never left Got to cover my back, get some things off my chest.

Not a saviour of literature

But I'm back on my toes

There is a higher demand But a lack of such prose.

Now on a more serious note,

I think it isn't apparent what I denote

So let's have a poll, cast your vote

I have so many ideas but not much time to gloat

There is a disadvantage on my behalf that I may not perceive

But yet again, I ask no one to be on their knees

Let us all be at ease but let me proceed

To extravagate my point or exaggerate my belief

That the barrier of minds is the major limitation

My thoughts are different than your imitation

There is no wrong or right here, only a slight inclination

My inability to express leads to doubts

In the vicinity of thoughts or thereabouts

And they make meanings of things I never dreamt

But then, that's what poetry is to be meant

However, as intricate as it may sound to be

This much "literatical geniusness" comes to me naturally

And I don't mean to be mean but that's all I can be.

On second thought, my point is still unclear

I have a lot of ideas or content, I fear,

But me being stuck in front of this page is what I truly fear

To put it clearly, let's go free

It's just the impact of listening rather than reading

My perception is different from yours

But sometimes, this abstractness makes the text lose its true meaning

Because after me, there is just assumption of thoughts with no clear perspective

And in the worst case, makes the poem lose its stature or makes it deceptive.

They say I'm back but I never left Got to cover my back, get some things off my chest.

Not a saviour of literature

But I'm back on my toes

There is a higher demand But a lack of such prose.
