I'M a Poet

I'm a poet, though I can't say that I'm good Cuz I can always find those better than me I have low esteem, lower than most But it can't stop me from writing poetry I wish to be different, I wish to be you I wish to sink lower to the ocean blue But I'm not suicidal, I love my life Even though it can be full of endless strife I love to write, I do it day and night Seldom do I travel without a pen For what would happen if I got an idea without a pen I would lose it right then Though I'd like to be different, I still love myself And it takes all of me not to sit on a shelf I listen to music, it's my inspiration and will continue to be till my life has begun

Great piece! I find it intriguing how similar one can feel to another just by reading their work. Thank you for the kind words, you opened my eyes to how connected in our emotions we all are. Keep writing
