I am no poet
I am no poet.
Deep down I know it.
My words do not rhyme,
They don’t make me laugh, or scream, or cry.
I am no poet.
I couldn’t bare if the stains on my soul were known,
Things people never knew were there.
My sadness,
My happiness,
My shame.
I stare at my notes at a loss for words,
None of these thoughts will ever be heard
for I am a coward.
And as I write this now I can only think one thing,
and will share this so everyone knows it.
I Am No Poet.
