To Be

To be a poet one must be so emotional; Well, not necessarily. We're only really capable of understanding feelings And investigating our emotions. It doesn't mean we cry all day, or pass nights in dark rooms moping. We have lives; come home from work or get in on a night bus back; It's from all these experiences that we can draw out words. From mundane to extraordinary; we become inspired. Our strength is versatility and life ignites our fire. We all do not have to be constricted to intensity or ponder so seriously on what it simply means 'to be'. We can be strong, flirty, mean or to be brim with confidence. For, what does 'to be a poet' mean, if you cannot explore yourself?
