Candis Johnson - Dissonance

I'm fighting with myself
Words just won't come
Yet, I've managed to construct this poem
Metaphorical Assimilation
Just won't take place and….my words
Seem lost in space and…
I'm screaming out for poetical eminence
Yet, standing on the shoulders of lyrical
Dissonance
I want to be great because I am
I write because it is my lifelong dream
Maya Angelou
Once wrote
