I am not just a poet

I've told you I'm just a poet

Yet you think I'm so much more

You say that I saved you

When you got close to death's door

But how can I save you

When I've been so recently saved

I've only just found my place in life

I've only just got the love I craved

But I still find things difficult

Can you expect any more from life?

So I put my pen to paper

And that's how I cope with my strife

But when you read my poetry

You see something inside

But honestly, they're just words

Of how I loved and laughed and cried

You say I'm not just a poet

You say I'm something more

But I'm just trying to fight depression

I'm just trying to win this war

Because I'm just a poet

A boy that writes words that rhyme

I'm just hoping you won't forget me

Over the course of time
