I'm not a Poet.
I'm just a scared kid,
who babbles on endlessly
about fears and hopes and dreams.
I'm not a Poet.
I have never been in love,
or found deeper truth
in the flight of a skylark.
I'm not a Poet.
My writings aren't tied with red ribbons,
I own no pet bear or lobster on a leash.
My heart is not a paperweight.
I'm not a Poet.
I won't become your Ideal,
I am flawed and real and Human.
I only write poems.

reference to some cool poetic people y'all. Emily Dickinson, Lord Byron, Gérard de Nerval, and Percy Shelley twice. (also Mary shelley because even though she wasn't a poet she was still pretty rad and goth). Not in that order.
