When I feel I am really a poet <br />I see my flesh is poetry <br />My pleasure is poetry <br />My pains are poetry <br />My feelings are poetry. <br /> <br />Poetry protects me <br />Poetry teaches me <br />How to fight back and win. <br /> <br />Poetry is my freedom <br />Poetry is my independence <br />Poetry is my flag <br />And an anthem <br />Poetry is my prophet <br />And a messanger. <br /> <br />But I am not a poet <br />Do not read me <br />Burn me into ashes <br />Let there be a flower <br />From the ashes.<br /><br />Ershad Mazumder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-not-a-poet-2-2/
