I'm i a poet
I ask myself
Or i just write
To express something
I've felt?
We so many of late
Poets i ment
Many I've met
Some their pieces
I've read
Some are lost
Others left
But within this space
I fail to categorize
My place.
I'm i a poet
I ask myself
Of late my pieces
Have been of feelings
And fate
But isn't that what poets
Do when writing their specs?
Expressing their desires
And the mixed emotions
They have felt
Maybe a cry for help
Or a struggle to defeat
They intend...
But still in this space
I fail to categorize
My place.
I'm i a poet
I ask myself
I heard poets use
Metaphors and
Similes just
To hide their say
Or rhetoric questions
Leaving their readers
Mouth agape
With thoughts at standstill
Wondering what they ment
But still in this space
I fail to categorize
My place.
Maybe I'm a poet
But I'm done asking
Myself
I know i write my thoughts
And my says
My feelings too
Tho at times
I put them at bay
The happenings of yesterday
And what the world
Has shown me today,
So maybe I'm a poet
Or an invention
I've created for myself
Reason in this space
I won't categorize
My place.
