I'm not meant to be a poet...
                                   ...but so be it.

     I can't find enough words that rhyme...
                                   ...honestly I just don't give myself enough time.

     Hell, I can't even follow a simple meter...
                                   ...if I could my poems would be much neater.
      
    Poetry is basically a puzzle...
                                   ...but my pieces don't fit.

    I think I need a genie, I have a wish to grant...
                                   ...but for now all I can do is rant.
  
    Assonance and Consonance...
                                    ... what's the dmn difference?

    Then there's figurative language...
                                    ... I swear I'm at a disadvantage.    
                                               ­                           
    There's different types like a quatrain and haiku...
                                   ...hell I never knew..
  
   F
ck I even have to worry about structure...
                                  ... You know I'm just gonna schedule my departure.

   There's a lot of things that I'm not...
                                  ... and for this I've given so much thought.

   I've made my decision and your not gonna like it...
                                  ...I am NOT a poet.
I am not
