I am a Poet
I am a poet
So weakly defined
Mostly a hermit
Rarely speak my mind
Have not more value
Than the words that I write
In hopes that my words
Please someone inside
I am a poet
A fly on the wall
Of life as it were
Little social at all
But at times I will write
A few choice words
In hopes that those words
Indeed will be heard
I am a poet
Someone who cares
But rarely shows it
At times I don't dare
To reach out my arms
For fear of rejection
And in so doing
Cause my own reflection
I am a poet
A bringer of words
A singer of songs
Bard on paper poured
When I recieve inspiration
Within my own mind
I share with myself
The knowlege I find
I am a poet
With no special trait
Except to those few
Who appreciate
The words on the paper
The feeling in the lines
The notes of good tidings
And bad ones at times
Yes I am a poet
Insigificant in truth
In my own words I learn
Both adult and in youth
Should you find my words pleasing
And deep to the heart
Perhaps I have touched you
Perhaps that's a start
