Becoming a Poet

I was very fascinated

by how the words came together

like combining flesh and leather

then I became aggravated

by how the rhymes would allude me

left me screaming like a banshee

then got very agitated

by the different forms and templates

seems I'm constantly fighting fate

it shouldn't be complicated

the spelling and interjections

trying to succeed perfection

I was very fascinated

in the beginning with the words

like new computers and the nerds

but then I got saturated

words were inhabiting my dreams

was so overwhelmed I could scream

I was incapacitated

when my mind suddenly went blank

I was relieved to be quite frank

I became dilapidated

I was extremely angry pissed

all because of the words I missed
