I am not a Poet
I am not a Poet. I just
Say what’s on my mind. It just
Happens that my mind has a tendency
To rhyme.
When I was in high school, I just
Wanted to be alone. I didn’t doodle
in my note book. So I just
wrote down my emotions. All of the
hurt and emptiness. My tears flowed not
from my eyes but from my pen. I was
practically dry heaving for want
of a show of emotion to myself.
But no show came; I just
Existed. Drifting in and out of
Consciousness with each
passing night.
I am not a Poet. I just
Write down my thoughts. They just
Happen to have a meter.
