You’re not a poet because you know those ‘fancy’ words You’re a poet because every word you write comes straight from your heart You’re not a poet because people admire your work You’re a poet because you write for your own contentment and not for people's consent You’re not a poet because you feel alone You’re a poet because pen and paper are your biggest companions You’re not a poet because you understand emotions better You’re a poet because you let them flow freely You are not a poet because you’ve failed in love You’re a poet because you’ve been in love deeper than anyone else You’re not a poet because you are strong You’re a poet because you don’t hide your weaknesses You’re not a poet because you can heal hearts You’re a poet because you know what it means to be broken

What makes you a poet
You’re not a poet because you know those ‘fancy’ words You’re a poet because every word you write comes straight from your heart You’re not a poet because people admire your work You’re a poet because you write for your own contentment and not for people's consent You’re not a poet because you feel alone You’re a poet because pen and paper are your biggest companions You’re not a poet because you understand emotions better You’re a poet because you let them flow freely You are not a poet because you’ve failed in love You’re a poet because you’ve been in love deeper than anyone else You’re not a poet because you are strong You’re a poet because you don’t hide your weaknesses You’re not a poet because you can heal hearts You’re a poet because you know what it means to be broken
Dedicated to all the poets here. I feel happy to be a part of the community.
