I'm Not A Poet
I don’t call myself a poet, though I do write poems.
I think.
I don’t think it's honest to say I am a something.
I prefer to be seen as a someone, anyway.
I presume it's presumptuous to say “I’m of this us!”
And meaningless to minds, whom I want to find,
anyway.
Not everything I write is a poem, but I put thought into it,
attempt to elicit emotion or bend the meanings of words to some poetic end.
So call me what name you want.
Label this thing in your thoughts.
But remember you're missing a lot
by ignoring words and seeing font.
Wrote this a few months back when I was feeling misunderstood and stereotyped.
