The Poet I Am

When I am in pain, I am a writer, 
I'm not more of a fighter. 
I always become a poet, 
Especially when I am upset. 

When my heart is singing, 
I then begin penning. 
My happiness dictates the words 
So my poems seem to have some chords. 

I am just an ordinary poet, 
Someone who writes her frets. 
I also put my joys in history 
And make my life a happy story.

Ahh, it is a really lovely poem, it is amazing that how our raw emotion sometimes turns into such a beautiful words, and believe me no matter what you are feeling, writing about it apways helps, let it be in the form of poetry, story or a simple diary entry, writing always helps, good luck
