I'm not a rapper, I'm a poet

I wish that he would stop asking me to rap
Rapping's not my thing
It's not what I'm good at
I'm not a rapper, I'm a poet
I hear my heart, I grab a paper and I go with it
The only flow I have is through a pen
The only rhymes I spit are written
I'm not that intense
I can't spit verses on the spot
I don't freestyle
I'm not that hot
I'm just a too-shy girl with one too many feelings
Who's kinda nice with a pen (if I'm not being modest)
I've got a rock hard shell that has yet to be broken
And a river underneath overflowing with emotion
So I write
And I gain my satisfaction
Through a pen
And that releases my tension
I don't rap
I'm a writer and a poet
And I'm nice and you know it
So I'm never letting go of it

Author notes

My boyfriend's been trying to get me to rap with him for the looongest time to no avail. I'm just not a rapper lol. I couldn't freestyle if my life depended on it! Things just don't come to me that fast. So I had to grab a piece of paper, and this is the closest I came to freestyling and it took like 20 minutes.

I know all rappers are poets, but not all poets are rappers. And that's the category I seem to fall into.

    Heh, I understand what you're saying. "Just because I can rhyme doesn't mean I can rap!" I'm much the same - my rhymes take time to come out. Free-styling just doesn't work for me either.
