Losing

It is my first time writing a poem, for
I never thought that I could.
My teacher knows I have never written a poem before
Today, but we have both understood
That the reasons for writing are Real.
All I need is paper and a pen
To express and reveal
The truth inside. I fend
Off my fears and let the poem write itself.
Even though it does not look very long,
It is a memory I will keep to myself,
A secret that is special, not wrong.
By writing my first poem I have lost but have gained.
I can not turn back or ever be the same.
