Poems - because words rhyme

Why Poetry

I used to write poetry,

And my rhymes weren't worth a dime.

In fact, none of them really made sense,

So maybe I was just wasting my time.

But if you were to ask me today,

Why I write these poems so often,

I would say it's because I have thoughts,

That I can't describe with simple conversation.

I'm not that unique,

I guess that's true,

But when I'm typing black on white,

I don't need to believe the truth.

Poetry,

Cheesy as it may seem,

Is the one way I can find,

To escape a low self-esteem.
