I am not a poet
I don't carry a notepad in hand
Or drink coffee the whole night through

I cannot write of the wrongs life has given me
Or of that man who stole my heart and left me empty
I cannot write about missing you everyday
And I cannot write about hating every part of me

I am not a poet
I don't have stories like you do
I don't feel cold and hollow

I am not
A poet

Good luck
With life
With that man
With that friend
With yourself

I am not a poet
I am happy
