Am I A Poet?

If you were to tell me I'd be writing poetry, I'd tell you that's a lie. "I don't write poetry, and poetry's not my type." 

But the person that's lying here is clearly me. It took me a while before I found myself writing poetry. 

I like to write about my feelings most of the time. I'm not sure why, but I always make it rhyme. 

To me, making a poem rhyme gives it a certain tempo. But there are times where I can't follow the beat, so I let it go.

I like to write specifically about people that once meant something to me, so I guess you could call it a vent. 

Poetry helps me describe how I feel and put it in words, but sometimes I feel like my poems will never be heard. 

I once joined a club where I could've tried to become a better poet, but I didn't feel like I was as good as them, or I just didn't know it. 

Poetry gets me thinking, and sometimes it just comes to me about as fast as the rapper Logic can spit his poetry. 

The rhyming is spot on, the timing, I caught on, but if it doesn't make sense, then I can't say that I've won. 

If my emotions didn't inspire me, I'd have to say that club did. I went on one field trip with them and felt like a little kid,

surrounded by these long-time poets that actually wanted to write. I felt like the only person there writing out of spite. 

I heard a couple of poems, and that night I made my own. That was the very first poem that I wrote down in my phone. 

Now, I'm up to five, but only three are done. This will be my sixth, but I'll probably write another one. 

Poetry inspired me to believe in myself, but am I poet, or expressing my feelings like everyone else?
