I don't call myself

master of metaphors for play

I truly mean it when I say

I've truly mastered this literary device

I don't call myself a poetry addict for play

I truly mean it when I say

I couldn't put the pen down

If you paid me to

I've faked bathroom breaks at work

just to try to write one stanza

my mind is never stagnant even when stationary

it doesn't take much to move me

with just one pinch of inspiration

I stretch it like a limousine

I can go anywhere with imagination

I'm 27 but I'll never lose that inner child

if you don't know me by now

my name is Garrick Styles

I have more monikers than money

I find that pretty funny

will my fortunes change ?

I sure hope so

it would be a damn shame

to possess so much talent

and still end up with pocket change
