I Am Not A Poet

I am not a poet

And I do not claim to be

I am merely a peasant

The one who struggles for money



Life had been cruel

Had taken everything away from me

Left me with nothing

Even my own identity



I hate this face

The mirror told me

I despised this place

Was my reply as I shattered it!



I’m not making any sense, I know!

All sanity in me is gone by now

Uttering sweet nothings to a distant land

Waiting for my dying breath to come



I am not a poet

And I do not intend to be

Rhymes are not my area of expertise

And life has no meaning to me


Author's Notes/Comments: 

I contradict myself sometimes! This was one of those days when I hate everyone and everything!
