Nay, My Words Are Not Mine

Some say my words have wisdom.
Nay, my words are not mine.

Thousands people before me
Have sighed about the very thing.

And thousands people have said so,
Yet who really acts as her words claim.

My words are not mine.
I am just repeating what's being preached.

I am a person with silly questions.
I am but a aimless fool.

How can a person who hates books
Be a person that loves knowledge?

I am not a seeker.
Nay, my words are not mine.

How can a person who hates reading
Be a person that loves learning?

Haven't we all felt like that? Like our problems, while they are our own, aren't really original? I like this poem, i can honestly relate to it. The only problem I have is i'm curious as to whether you intentionaly used poor grammer or not. Other than that, I loved it.

Eliza; I thought your poem was well written and expressive. We don't all learn in the same way. Not everyone enjoys reading but they still learn from life's experiences and other media, than reading books. You are learning, I can tell, having known you for a little time now!
