Can You Be A Poet?

Wed, 01/31/2018 - 12:01 -- abdi211

They said "Can you be a poet ?"

I said "Yes but I just don't really show it."

I can strive to be the best

Cause you know I'll pass that test.

Deep down we all struggle

but at the end we don't stop to confess.

It only takes a minute to rest until we jump back to that test.

They said "put your body to rest"

But how can I unless I am depressed.

Yes everyone knows that I am blessed but it comes with a big quest.

I am just a human being who has a huge zest

so give me sometime to heal with the rest.

Yes! People tells lies but we forgive them

because they don't take enough time to revise.

Feeling so despised just because we're oversized.

We take a look around just to see we're overstride.

We wake up in the morning just to see the sunrise

but at the end we take lessons from the wise.

Take all of your ambition and throw it down with submission.

Yes! You need permission to get that petition.

Struggling with titution just to make that emission

but then the question is "Can you find the commission ?"
