always the poet, never the poem.
that's how it goes with me.
i love more than i like and i feel more than i
should, and i control it by transforming feelings into pretty words put together.
i romanticize everything and i make sorrows look pretty and lovely, just so someone else can feel that they're not alone.
i love poetry and i love being a poet. i live to be a poet. i exist so i can be a poet.
i must confess that it does feel lonely and
frustrating at times, but what would be the fun in being the poem?
i get it, it's romantic and cute, but i would much rather make someone shine in words than being shone on without ever knowing.
so i'll continue to write. i'll take on the role of a poet and i'll make sure to act it out perfectly.
i'll continue to write my heart out and my feelings down.
as sad as it sounds, i've accepted that i'm meant to write, but never to be written.
