My name is Terry Coates but everyone calls me Lavell. Poetry came to me at a very very young age it was a way for me to just get all my anger, problems, and feelings out. To me it is a way to deal with life on a everyday basis it has really helped me alot in my life.
My brother
My brother is my keeper
My brother is my best friend
My brother is my pain
...
Livin in anger
Anger that has no ending
Anger that has no fear
Anger that has no wants
...
Why am I so evil?
Is it because of bad things I do to others?
Is it because I curse
Is it because I have sex
...
Love is like a rose you pick on that great spring day
It has life love fullness and gratefulness
It opens your mind and sees real beauty
But love is like a rose
...
Just last night I got a call
It was poetry saying please come home
I replied back that I am retired and done
It said please, please come back
