What Makes You A Poet

You’re not a poet because you know those ‘fancy’ words

You’re a poet because every word you write comes straight from your heart

You’re not a poet because people admire your work

You’re a poet because you write for your contentment and not for people's consent

You’re not a poet because you feel alone

You’re a poet because pen and paper are your biggest companions

You’re not a poet because you understand emotions better

You’re a poet because you let them flow freely

You are not a poet because you’ve failed in love

You’re a poet because you’ve been in love deeper than anyone else

You’re not a poet because you are strong

You’re a poet because you don’t hide your weaknesses

You’re not a poet because you can heal hearts

You’re a poet because you know what it means to be broken
