A Poet's Life
I've got my pencil and paper
What is it next that I need?
Maybe a little inspiration
Would help me to succeed
Let me see now what to write
Maybe of broken hearts
No, that's just way too sad
That's always how it starts
Maybe I'll write of romance
Two hearts beating together
No, that's just way too mushy
Maybe about the weather
Maybe I'll write of loneliness
Okay, I think I'm gonna cry
Maybe I'll ask some questions
Somebody has to know why
Maybe I'll write about cheaters
Or a broken promise or two
Maybe I'll write of confusion
And not knowing what to do
This poet stuff is harder than it looks
I just don't know where to begin
Well see, now look what I've done
This poem has come to an end
