What is a poet?
A poet is Someone who laughs and cries
And sometimes sings—most times, badly.
Or who stands with both feet on the ground or stumbles and falls
And sometimes can’t put the pieces together even though they once fit all as one.
A poet is someone who has both broken hearts
And had their heart ripped to shreds and thrown on the floor.
The latter is me all day long.
What is a poet?
Someone who has burned those who have trusted because
of trusting and being burned—often multiple times!
A poet is someone who breathes and sneezes
And sleeps, and dreams, and wishes, and falters under the weight of a heavy heart
That is Too complex to analyze or to Ever FIX.
What is a poet?
Someone who may be well known, or like me maybe not so much,
Who dances with words and who thinks the world of people who treat them like SHIT.
A poet is someone who wants to BELIEVE there is goodness in everyone,
but can no longer figure out how to complete this arduous task at hand,
And who always wants to help but hasn’t always the means or the mental faculties to do so.
A poet is someone who wants to have true friendship and normalcy
Where trust is lacking and idiosyncrasy runs rampant.
What is a poet?
A poet is sometimes lost but never really found.
A poet is abandoned even when still surrounded by people who think they love adequately enough
But really don’t.
A poet is surrounded by hurt and anger and rage, and sometimes by love, but less by respect.
A poet is fun loving and hard working but sometimes lazy as a DEAD FUCK.
And sometimes a poet desires to live but mostly wonder intensely about Death.
What is a poet?
A poet is someone that either likes to rhyme or just can’t find the time.
Who sporadically drinks E&J, Frangelico, or Amaretto and who likes chocolate cake.
A poet is someone who knows the grass is never as green as it looks on the other side
But still persists to hope that it is or will be someday.
A poet is someone who’s heart
Is into writing words
That can
Never
EVER
Really express what the true feeling is that they are feeling.
A poet is Human but more often than not, is not perceived as thus.
A poet
Is wanting and giving and caring and becomes NUMB
Because of the surroundings
A poet is me.
