Define


You can not be defined, not by single words or poets' lines.

But yet, I am the poet up to the challenge of trying,

to my owns words, being defiant.

You roll off the tongue better than any sequence of words I'll ever align.

you ring in my head longer than any rhythm and rhyme.

But yet, I am the poet who's still trying,

to my own words, being defiant.
