I’ve never been a poet
I’ve been one of the beasts on a field
And a red hot journalist
But certainly never a poet
I’ve had blue sky highs and rock bottom lows
I’ve made some new friends but held the old ones close
I’ve been embarrassed, happy, sad, and in between
But I’ve never been a poet
The hardest part for me is I want to be great
But I’d rather turn green before I imitate
I just want to be me
To be funny and know it
If only I could express that
I’d call myself a poet
I’ve always been a writer
And prefer handwritten over computer
My black subject notebook
Where an idea becomes the future
I think so often
I wish I was a poet
I never want to be normal
A 9-5 is not for me
My dreams can’t go away
Being blinded by a white sheet
Balance in life is everything
I can finally say I know it
I’ve been through a lot
But I’ve never been a poet
NNNN
