Explain This To Me

Is anyone out there familiar in the area of human psychology? Anyone out there in touch with the human psyche? If you feel that you qualify, well then please do feel free to openly and honestly explain this to me. I've never been a fan of reading poetry. I've heard of James Foster and Ms Dickinson, Emily but I've never read their words, honestly. In fact, I've never read the poetic words of anybody. When ever I listen to music, it's often usually instrumental orchestrations only. I listen to songs containing lyrics very rarely. I can't think of a single poet or song writer who has ever influenced me because I'm ignorant of their work obviously and yet, the only way I can express myself is poetically. Can anyone out there explain this to me?
