sometimes

when my fingers don't itch to write

and the keyboard is a faraway memory, 

i curse myself

curse the world

because i feel like poetry is pointless.

why

do my hands know exactly how

I can say everything right

But she'll still never love me

After that one bad night,

Now I just want to be free

This isn't about a friend

Or someone special 

No texts I will send

You are the light in my life,

My girlfriend and my love.

You take away the night,

And your body fits with mine 

I know you love my poems

So I will write them for you.

To be a poet is not to write poems.  

No. 

Most anyone can do that. 

Most anyone has done that, 

for school, maybe. 

To be a poet is to see a tree
