I'm not a poet

This is just to say
that I'm not a poet
I don't change words
and manipulate  their meanings
making people weak
as they lose their breath
in a calusped lung
from words that
I'm using
but I'm not a poet
I don't use words
and make people
gasp in awe
or even regain
their confidence of
sight and seeing
their selves in different
shades of ambition
and self control
