The Poet Who's Not a Poet
Location
I am not a poet.
My poetry is not considered poetry.
My poems are a door for me and, me alone,
They are a way for me to cope, to understand.
Nobody knows my life better than my poems,
They see my heart, my mind, my soul;
They care about my hopes, my dreams, my fears,
When nobody else has the time.
Even though they are not normal,
They don’t follow any pattern,
They are mine, and mine alone.
I am the only one, who understands them,
Who loves them, and cares for them,
They are my friends when my friends leave.
Even though I am a poet, I am not a poet;
My poems are my memories and my salvation,
They are not to be poems for any eyes, but mine.
