Only A Poet

Letters make up words

Words make up lines

Phrases from the heart

But who am I to call them mine?

For I am only a poet

Writing of her lost dreams

But isn't that what everyone else is doing

To set their souls free

A young girl

Mixed up in a tragic world

Does this sound familiar?

Do these lines ever get old?

Written on every poet's page

Words like love, smiles, and tears

Unoriginal

Through the world's ears

Who am I to say I am great?

Because of the way I string words together on a page?

There are millions of hopefuls

Holding onto their dreams

Conforming to society it seems

But I am only a poet

Who am I to judge?
