A POEM FOR A POET

I am a poet,

which means i am broken, having not chosen to.

So i make mistakes, i lie about almost everything, how i feel, what i do and

between each silver lining I cross the borders as if they were unharmful. 

i let my past control me. I keep away from the people who see my vulnerability 

because i am scared they might use that against me. 

I yearn for a life i visualize in my head when i close my eyes but fear to make the

necessary steps in achieving it.

I am a Writer,

which means i live most of my life in my head, and with each passing wave i create 

personas i desire to be, slowly forgetting what lies in the real world.

I am lost,

with a vision to someday being the greatest me to walk the surface of the earth.

perhaps thats what it means to be a dreamer, always hoping for the out of the

world life. and waking up yeas later in regret to I should've and should have not.

but if its peace i find in the pieces im broken to i guess its not a bad idea.

it's better to have lived in a dream than to never have dreamed at all.
