Not Poetry

we are not poetry our tears don't have words fit to describe them to their exact measure of pain our eyes are not the oceans you compare them to because you've run out of hues our smiles aren't phrases you heard in your past nor is our laughter equivalent to your favourite song don't hide us between lines and this fine black ink let us grow and live please let us be for we are people, and not poetry.
