The Poet

by Ayyub Hussain


I was born to be a poet

It is my greatest honour

It is the source of my power


Writing poetry is my hydration

It is life that makes me thirsty

It is life that makes me weak

But, writing poetry to being strong and healthy


I still have the face of a child

I’m too cute to be someone’s muse

Nobody can take advantage of me being young and wild

The ink I write with comes from my bruise


My loved ones gain immortality

My life becomes a story

I aspire for literary glory

I’ll feel peace when my soul ascends from the territory


I’m happy to be the poet

I’m meant to be more than a pretty face
