When I was a child, I was taught poetry wasn't mild, It was deep as the sea, And it seemed truly unachievable for me. I was taught poetry had to rhyme, Every single line, every single time. So poetry seemed out of my reach, Like chasing a seagull down a beach, Jumping ever so slightly away, Or soaring into the sunny day.
So I never thrived for what I thought would, No, Could Never be.
