A Poet Is

A poet is just someone
who writes some shit about
something creative they had on their mind.

A poet is just someone who looks at someone
or something and turns the every day
into beautiful words that paint a better picture
than the thing the poet is actually looking at.

A poet is just someone with a pen,
or a keyboard, spewing their emotions on the page
and hoping to get some sort of support from a reader,
the poet is really someone with low self esteem.

A poet is just someone who isn't afraid of looking at themselves,
and writing exactly what they feel about themselves.
To the rest of the world they may be a genius with a bright future,
but to themselves they're just hopeless writers searching for a finishing line.
