You’re not a poet because you know those ‘fancy’ words
You’re a poet because every word you write comes straight from your heart
You’re not a poet because you feel alone
You’re a poet because pen and paper are your biggest companions
You’re not a poet because you understand emotions better
You’re a poet because you let them flow freely
You’re not a poet because people admire your work
You’re a poet because you write for your own contentment and not for people's consent
You are not a poet because you’ve failed in love
You’re a poet because you’ve been in love deeper than anyone else
You’re not a poet because you are strong
You’re a poet because you don’t hide your weaknesses
You’re not a poet because you can heal hearts
You’re a poet because you know what it means to be broken
