Why I'm a poet

poem inspired by a Napowrimo day 3

I'm the tide
that rearranges grains of sand on the ground
you can't hear me
I work silently

Why I'm a poet is because no anger
should be washed over you
no joy can be contained.
I need not tell you where to stand

I don't want you to analyse me
The words on the page don't need to be good to me
anxiety is not what I am most scared of
you don't know how …
