Am I a poet?

Am I a poet?

Or just some joker

Writing down words

No one will ever see

To satisfy some need

Misguided as it may be

To puff up my soul

Full of self-importance

Pretending some art

I do not have

But soothes some part

Of my myself by whimpering

Into the moonlight

Feigning some loneliness

Of an unearned pain

I do not have the right

Whatsoever to claim.

Or am I just a poet?
