What is the definition of a poet?
one who conveys all torments in their soul?
who drains their mind against the adrenaline that pours forth,
and beats crowds with words to convey their importance?
or is it the responsibility to bare their soul to hungry ears
that thirst for words that may have some sort of wisdom behind their meanings?
to be inspired is inspiring.
and as i look around this world i am moved
to lack of words for such beauty in it.
i am moved to push words of regret from my lungs by things i have yet not seen.
and i am moved to write by the words that fall just so into my minds eye.
and that in itself is enough for me to keep breathing.
to keep walking.
to keep telling my variations of stories.
to keep placing myself upon this stage.
to keep moving, and run with it.
run with my life held preciously in my hands...
and keep searching for that definition of a poet.
