A bad poet
I'm not a very good writer
and when I say that
I don't mean that the rhymes
I make aren't good
or meaningful at all.
I simply mean that
I'm not very good at
being a writer.
I don't do poetry camps,
or slams.
I would like to
but I guess it never seems to fit.
I don't read books as much as I should.
I'm busy all the time
and I'm writing
in between car rides.
I'm writing right before I go to bed
And in the bathroom at school
in that stall by the end.
I'm writing at red lights on my way to school.
I'm not very good at being a writer.
I don't write the way a writer should.
and when I say that
I don't mean that the rhymes
I make aren't good
or meaningful at all.
I simply mean that
I'm not very good at
being a writer.
I don't do poetry camps,
or slams.
I would like to
but I guess it never seems to fit.
I don't read books as much as I should.
I'm busy all the time
and I'm writing
in between car rides.
I'm writing right before I go to bed
And in the bathroom at school
in that stall by the end.
I'm writing at red lights on my way to school.
I'm not very good at being a writer.
I don't write the way a writer should.
