"Would I look like poetry if I tattooed words on my skin?
Would I look like poetry if I cut my hair short and stuck a cigarette between my teeth?
Or what if I spend my nights in bars drinking whiskey and going home with different guys?
Would I look like poetry if I wore tattered clothes and ate take out every night?
Or if I took a bus out of town,
Would that make me poetry?
If I packed my bags and moved in with a guy I've been fucking for a week who can't seem to remember my last name?
Then would I look like poetry?
If I covered my skin in blood and listened to sad music,
Then would I be poetry?
Would I fit the standards?
Would people read my words and feel my pain?
Would they get me?
Would I be poetry?"
