"Roar of the Crowd"



Deep vibes, intense fire, emotions entwined,
Sweet rhymes, reserved seats, this work is all mine,
Blazing heat, unique souvenirs, no silent stance,
Loud statements, no bullish hype, it's a grand dance.

Las Vegas boxing fight, sold-out tickets, crowd's in awe,
Too many eyes, too much hype, they saw,
I've said enough, stepping out of the box tonight,
People doubted, but I laughed, it felt right.

They thought I wasn't something, just a presumption,
But I dreamt big, laughed myself to sleep with gumption,
I wasn't what they expected, that's for sure,
Bored with the script, I sought something more.

Changed the scenery, elevated my quest,
Some see it as a joke, judgments manifest,
But I thrive in the excitement, the roar of the crowd,
Proud that I never undermined, stood tall and proud.

I find myself at a loss for words, as it's evident that this introduction falls short of a proper biography. My journey in the realm of writing began with an aspiration to become an investigative journalist. Over the years, I have dedicated my pen to crafting poetry as a medium for conveying profound thoughts, emotions, and sentiments. I have come to realize the profound impact of my written words. Determined to hone my writing talent, I am dedicated to the belief that, one day, my gift will pave the way for me. To all those who have taken the time to read this, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. I welcome any feedback you may have. Furthermore, if you appreciate this poetry, I am pleased to announce the release of my second poetry book, which features accompanying artwork. I assure you that you won't be disappointed. You can find my book, titled "Whispers of the Unseen: Illuminations from Within," available for purchase through this link: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CDNJ3SGZ?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860&fbclid=PAAaZhlPbQJceL_94cvJ-YMQmJes4n-TO0skKU9Aqtupahin8y_Y3UivR0ekY_aem_AYmGbWv1cR2aS7xZeSgqHjgfx_au-mb8MQrzVCWZL_CRgndM2wsk90I2zyssDWVCe58]. more…
