Always the poet, never the poem.

I have always liked writing poems, about life, people, and love. But sometimes i wonder, how fun would it be to be the subject of a poem for once. How fun would it be to have someone that will write a poem about you, someone that will write how pretty, kind, and special you are to their eyes?

I have always liked writing things about people i love, and people that i cherish the most, but sometimes i pray and hope that someone out there would do the same for me, too. I wonder what would it feel like to be remembered by someone through their works. I wondered how would people describe me through their words, would their words make me feel sad, happy, or flattered?

I wondered what would be my reaction if one day someone actually wrote a poem about me. I wondered and wondered. I wondered, too many times.

Don’t get me wrong i like being a poet —being a writer, but how would it feel to sometimes be the muse? — To be written so well by someone, to be seen so special by someone. To actually be the subject of their poem.

Being a writer all my life, sometimes it makes me wonder, what would it feel like to be loved by the poet

I long for someone to tell me that “I wrote poems about you”, but i learned that it would be almost impossible. After all, i am the poet. I write about people, that is my role, my duty — a duty i need to fullfil. And there’s nothing else i can do but to embrace the fact that i i will always be the poet, but never the subject to people’s poems.
