I am a poet

I am a poet
Because talking isn't my strong suit
So I jot my words down
Because its then only thing
That keeps me sane

I am a poet
Because words
They come in pairs
Flowing like Niagara
Forming something beautiful

I am a poet
Because how else
Can I share
And let people know
That they're not alone
And that someone is there

I am a poet
So that I can help 
To maybe save someone else
And in the process
Save myself
