Poet

I can't be a poet, it's been said my whole life,

The teachers watching me as I write every line.

'Your words don't make sense, you know they have to rhyme,

Add similies and metaphors to make your writing alive.'

But I can't, I don't know how,

To spit out 'poetry' from my mouth.

The words always choke, I've got nothing to say,

Because I can't talk unless it's their way.

Now I'm stuck in this cycle, forcing words on a page,

Got no emotion to put down unless it's from rage,

I write as if my life's ending today,

A workaholic, yeah that's what they'd say.

Because I'm writing and writing empty lines, all the same,

Trying to create a masterpiece from an empty space.


I'm not a poet, I can't be.

I'm not a writer, I can't see.

Not an artist, can't believe,

Not a creator, don't fool me!
