People Are Not Poetry by Erin Hanson

This upload is long overdue because i was too scared to upload anything but here it is. I'm going to try to upload some more things soon. I hope you enjoy.
People Are Not Poetry:
You can write for hours,
Of all the things that you wish you could be,
But the truth of the matter is simple,
People are not poetry,
And i know that you wish you weren't awkward,
That sweet words could roll right off your tongue,
But your time here is too short to worry,
How each sentence is strung,
It's okay to be rough round the edges,
To be bruised up and broken and scarred,
But it's not okay to let people tell you,
That's a reason to change who you are,
Your hair doesn't always sit neatly,
The way a poem sits so neatly in lines,
And sometimes you might feel like a word,
That nobody has learnt to define,
You might not be a star that lights darkness,
Or a bird that can teach us to soar,
But it's okay because you're too complex,
To be crammed into one metaphor,
It's okay not to know what you're doing,
Since your feelings don't all have to rhyme,
Though a poem once complete is eternal,
You have freedom to change over time,
You're so much more than can ever be written,
There's no title to say "This Is Me",
You can't be trapped in a notebook,
Because people are not poetry.
- Erin Hanson
I am not Erin Hansen, I just love their poetry.
I would highly recommend her book "The Poetic Underground 2", i have repeatedly been reading it since i bought it.
Do any of you recommend any poets or books?

honestly amazing😍❤ I love poetry, I myself write some on my spare time. Erin Hansons words fill my senses, filling my brain with toxic words, but the good kind of toxin, the one that makes things seem a bit better. ❤ I love your channel love.
