I Am Not

I am not a tall oak tree
For I have not enough patience or fortitude
I am not the endless ocean
For I have neither such depth nor magnitude
I am not a thousand splendid suns
For I have not such perseverance nor gratitude
I am not a colorful rainbow
For I have not such diverse multitude
Perhaps I am nothing but these simple poems
Consumed by my thoughts in solitude
