I Am a Poet

I am a poet
my heart belongs to paper
instead of people
I am a poet
my pen knows my touch
better than my mother
I am a poet
my thoughts spill onto these pages
instead of off my tongue
I am a poet
I feel things from experiences I've never had
broken hearts
shattered dreams
unspeakable pain and unbearable loss
that no one else can feel or see
I am a poet
