When I write poems
I always tell myself
that I am telling
the story of people

A story about their hopes
their dreams, their failures
I am merely a scribe
—a bard recounting fate

But as I grow
as I pass through zeniths
in scales unbound
I realize something profound

—that I don't write stories
I don't recount others' fate
I am telling the life I've known
—in my poems
I realize I write stories of people
just to write my own
