Why I Want to be a Poet
I will never be a great poet, but that is okay
writing poetry helps relieve the anxiety of life’s challenges
a life full of ups and downs
I have a choice to make
will I sit and pine away or will I try to help myself
one needs to vent and free the soul of stress
I find putting words down is much better than screaming
it is better than crying all day feeling sorry for myself
I write poems describing my sad feelings as well as happy ones
I have always been a very private person so baring my soul to people
scares me to death
but time and the events in life have helped me feel out loud
poetry has freed my soul from fear of rejection
I will do self care and release more feelings
Pretending to be a poet
