I Can't Write Poetry

I can't write poetry
Even if I have a book full of it
I will admit
There is something always missing.

I look at the greats and weep
Their words bring goosebumps
To my flesh
My words bring disappointment

I can't seem to make it work
Like the others always do
In their writing
They have a meaning beyond it

But there is no deeper meaning
Just a girl trying to figure out
Who she is
And what the world is to her.
