I Am Who I Am

I am not a poet
Just a drawing board 
Painting model with my noble pen
Beyond the scope of fame with aim
Like a loyal pretender 

I am not a poet
But a sick mind 
Seeking refuge in art 
Not to go totally blind 
Without life in my heart 

I am not a poet
Rather, I am a noise maker
Whose pen is a sword
Yet, can't hunt for games
Or go near the den 

I am not a poet
Let me say this clearly 
I don't write cavalierly
Neither do I ink intelligibly 
Though, I won't stop jogging in my closet 

I am not a poet 
Take it or leave it
Running will come naturally 
Then voices will sing 
My classical KING forever...
