To Be a Poet

You know to be a Poet , 
Often inflicts great pain , 
Sharing your emotions ,
Over and Over again , 

Each interprets what they want to ,
Putting meanings where they don't belong , 
Creating their own impressions , 
Which are more than often wrong , 

Some  say to be a Poet ,
Is a gift from God at birth , 
A form of communication , 
Between you the stars and earth , 

Remember a Poet has no privacy , 
No feelings he can hide ,
After all what you are reading now ,
Is the way I feel inside .
