Skyler Bayer Poet I do not know?

Poetry

So I’ve been told to write
Something great.
But who has the time these days
To impress the world?

So I sit and I think.
Think.
   Think.
      Think.
I’m bloody tired of thinking
I want to be
Feeling
Something.
ANYTHING.

This is what I came up with.
What is defined as poetry?
I remember what Robert Frost said,
“Poetry is the kind of thing poets do”.
I’m doing something
But feeling
Nothing.

It’s not about the way with words
It’s all about the interpretation
Comprehension
The reader’s connection with,
Not the words,
But with themselves.

Poetry.
It’s what you make of it
And it’s all about what those words do
For YOURSELF.
Not anyone else.
I don’t have to impress anyone.
This is MY world.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out
