Analysis of Because I am a Poet
Because I am a Poet
My passion is deep
Understanding is my obligation
My heart tears in bend
My chest presses in
It is like I am in the same situation
I am crying for you
Or maybe, just blue
Such a sense of desolation
I hold back the pain
My senses regain
It is such an interesting observation
