I even read
your famous poems
that many people
have read.
I even read
it many times
and got lost
in it.
I even thought
I might
easily remember
all the titles
of your poems
in every word
and I have also
been able to
understand it
little by little.
I even started
writing poetry
for myself.
I even sat
for a long time
just to think of words.
I even want
to be like you
or maybe more.
“Am I enough
to be able to achieve
what you once
achieved?”,
I tell you
in front of
these poems
of mine.
“I want to be myself”,
he told me in this poem
now you're
reading.
