I am not a Poet


I can’t write

I am not a poet

All I see are their faces

Staring and judging

Sick of the words coming out

They heard the same thing

Last week and before

For months and years

Because nothing ever changed

And their faces still haunt me

Prevent me from writing

Because this isn't poetry

This is fragmented thoughts

In my docs

Seperated in lines

That don't even rhyme

Because i am not a poet
