Poets write, authors write.
I am both yet neither.
I write, but I write life.
I write experiences.
Only time will tell if I quit or succeed.
Poets write,
Because they're the poet of life.

love the last 2 lines, and that you tried to capture why poets write and what they do. Thanks for the inspiration.

&quot;People, I&#039;ve discovered, are like layers of secrets. You believe you know them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes, you decide to trust them. <br /> <br /> -Veronica Roth
