I Am Poetry Poem by Ashleigh Gaffney

I just write,
When I want to.
When I feel the need.
Word by word, I proceed.
Writing without thinking
Thinking without writing
And a poem comes out
A poem: a part of my life
And my life is like a Poem
Sometimes I understand
And sometimes I don’t
The less I think
The more I get out of myself
The less I write
The more of the Poem
Is left on the shelf
Waiting for the right time
For the right poem
To come out.
Looking forward
For the moment,
I will write again;
I won’t let them wait too long
Because I’m full of poetry
I’m young, I’m strong
Got a whole shelf to write about;
So I have time
To discover myself,
And in that, there’s no doubt
