The Optical Illusion Poem

I wish I could write a poem that rhymes I've tried to do it a million times, or more The words never seem for me to come At least not as easy as it does for some, people I just don't know what I should do To get my words to rhyme like you, can Well one of these days maybe I will I'll finally write something I feel, inside Why can't I find these words I seek? Sometimes I hunt for more than a week, or two I won't give up just wait and see One day these words will come to me, maybe Oh Wizard of Words lend me your ear Help me to rhyme these words right here, sometimes I think I can, well maybe I might Think of a rhyme for me to write, today No one will ever know my name If my words don't rhyme or sound the same, way I've finally come to my conclusion Did you notice this poem's an optical illusion, of sorts? Read it again and stop at the commas
