I am
A poet
A poet
I am
So much so
That I use words
To play
With people
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
For I can explain
My life
In a few
Stanzas
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
A life
Once revered
Is a life
Now lived
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
For there is
Nothing more painful
Than
The pain of sorrow
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
But not winning
The award
For
The most traumatized
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
Connecting
In a world
That knows
only separation
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
Surrendering
The limelight
Accepting
The darkness
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
Creating a new life,
Different from the one
That
Wrote my poems for me
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
Juxtaposing
The future
With
The past
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
Entitled
To serve
Only
In one way
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
Cheating
My way
Out of pain
I once felt
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
Writing
my way
To
Paradise
I am
A poet
A poet
I am
Engulfed
In
love
– healed
I am
Me
Me
I am
