This is the last poem that will be in my book and also the last poem I will write for a while. Hope it does justice.
I just want to say thank you
thank you for all the time you guys have invested in me
in what I feel
in what I believe.....
thank you...
see someone asked me recently what motivates me to write
the answer is you
all of you
since I was 12 I was always the person people spoke to about their stress
things that deepened they're breath
issues that cause such depth
so I write to share the things that cipher in my head
I imagine all the emotions and thoughts people have.....
then I write them down with my pen
because I know it feels good to see your perception said even when its verbalized by someone else instead
thank you...thank you Diana Gonzalez
its amazing how someone can be so similar to me
you would think I would pursue such an individual immediately
but no....
however the level of respect she has from me is beyond any metric system height....
its the only reason I took her serious when she told me I needed to continue with the poems I write....
thank you...
thank you to those who have tatted my quotes....
Diana, Wendy, Angelica, Jasmine and Dana.....
no disrespect to the many others who will soon follow there path
but without pioneers no radical idea can hope to last....
When people use my words as a permeneant brand I don't think they understand of how much it means to me or the chill that travels to my heart from my hand....
thank you....
to everyone whos ever trusted me with personal information
stories that brought water to my eyes that exceeded any form of earths precipitation
its amazing....
I remember everything I see and hear but let me make this clear
if you have ever brought something of important value to my ears
it has never been repeated so just know you have nothing to fear
thank you...
for every kind word
positive feed back i've heard
poems people share with me....despite how novice you feel through your expressions I learn....
I have been blessed...
allowed to look over others poetic work in an effort help
if yah only knew how much I learned from yourselves...
thank you
for every random inbox message
facebook post
everytime someone was helped by something I wrote
I try to explain things in a way that will allow the lesson and minds to link
and since every action is preceeded by a thought my only goal is just to make the reader think.....
thank you
for all the people who just read one of my poems
all of you who gave me feedback
because I always need that
no matter how small the comment...the bigger picture I envision receives that...
and no im not perfect
don't think because I empower you that I don't find my self wordless
im only 23...to those who really know me and call me E and the rest that refer to my indentity as S.B. and to the females who called me Ian so they can feel unique...understand this please....
im not special nor should I be held on a pedestal
I just happen to be a little more intellectual than the average person you usually have next to you
thank you....
to all of you that read my poems and spend time to read some more...and to those who don't support me I thank you even more.....
The only reason I have accomplished so much in my life is so I can see that confused look in your eyes and lately people look even more surpised because im on the rise....
thank you....
to those who wronged me....you created the strong me...and now I get up and make moves no matter what the song be....
but in conclusion the last thing that I would like to exclaim
is thank you again
because theres nothing more meaninful to me that I can write or say.
Thank you.
