I wish poetry came to me
As easily as a fish to water.
I wish poetry came to me
When I was happy
Instead of when I'm sad.
But I'm not a fish,
And poetry is not water.
But I'm not happy.
So I pick a pen and grab a sheet,
And try to write
Beneath the stars and the sky.
And I write and write about your eyes.
And as I finish these lines,
I realise even thought it did not come
As easy as a fish to water,
I am happy.
And at the end of the day that is all that matters.

I wish poetry came to me
As easily as a fish to water.
I wish poetry came to me
When I was happy
Instead of when I'm sad.
But I'm not a fish,
And poetry is not water.
But I'm not happy.
So I pick a pen and grab a sheet,
And try to write
Beneath the stars and the sky.
And I write and write about your eyes.
And as I finish these lines,
I realise even thought it did not come
As easy as a fish to water,
I am happy.
And at the end of the day that is all that matters.
