the poet as the poem

it was only recently i started sharing my writing

who knew it only took a few kind words from a beautiful soul to not feel embarrassed about the years of words written down in a little app on my phone

explaining my heart in ways no touch could ever come close

i can explain feelings in metaphors all day or compare emotions to galaxies

but the artist is never the one painted in the stars

always the poet, never the poem

maybe no one writes about me because i don\'t amount to much in their brain

but it\'s always someone else\'s story

never poetry about mine

the poet as the poem from a different perspective than my own is all i long for

i\'ve turned everyone i\'ve met into art

and they don\'t have the slightest clue

i can\'t help im a girl that loves to write about people she loves

i just hope one says someone loves me enough to turn the poet into a poem themself
