They say if you're a poet at twenty
You're twenty
But, if your a poet at forty
You're a poet.

I feel like I'll never make it.
Some times I wonder why
I'm a poet,
Or more why I believe
I could be
A poet.

The only time I write
Are the days I cry myself
To sleep

Will I always have to cry
To be able to write
What's bottled up somewhere
Inside?

Will my words only come
When my heart feels broken
And my world begins to go
Black?

I hope not..
