I am no longer a poet

They said I write of words that makes them cry
and verses mainly on goodbyes,
they said my writings had only proved,
the bane of all that on earth I loved.
so then, I say, I am no longer a poet
They said I'm living a life full of woe
but write of joy I never know;
they said I only see at dark midnight
and write of morn's sweet delight.
so then, again i say, I am no longer a poet
They said I am calm and kind like a saint
but write of ills with no restraint;
they said I am mean and vile in my look
but my wordings were good in their books.
so then, to you I say, I am no longer a poet.
