What they called me
You asked me to write about poetry
You must have asked to write about me
What things move me
What things change me
What things make me feel this way
I never knew why I rhymed
Or how my words moved
I just knew that this was how I said it
They called me poetry
They put in a system a classification
Demeaned my uniqueness
They called me poetry
Like I was like everyone else
But I’m not
Her words move differently
His words don’t rhyme
I am especially
Me
I am affected and I tell you
and still
You call me poetry
