Love Poem: I'M Always Ready

I'M Always Ready

I'm always ready to write
because it's simply what I do
poetry comes out of me 
like an uncapped bottled of glue
and I have an unlimited supply
like a forever metro card
it's all from the heart 
and I'll never settle down
retirement from it 
would be like dying 
I breath it in and 
never exhale 
but the talent in me 
never goes stale
I am what ever it makes me
some say creators are moody
and unpredictable like 
a hurricane season 
I don't really need to give 
a clear reason
why I love it so much
but I take it down like 
a glass of orange juice 
at brunch 
and I never spit it up
It's sticks with me 
like good luck 
It's my first love.
