Mine

This is for the contest about writing a poem that reflects who you are. I like to think I am an individual, but am I?

I walk each day, one foot in front of the other, on pavement that has already been claimed
And into buildings, already named
I day dream of things that already exist
I sing songs that have already been written
Living a life of completely unoriginal ideals

But, when my life leads me to utter distress
I take out my pen and start to undress
A piece of writing that, although made of words that have been around a very long time,
is something that is nothing but completely mine.

"But, when my life leads me to utter distress

The above lines are amazing. A very good way to describe create thoughts and words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

That is some good poetry...:0

Yes,it's original and exclusively yours.
Could you replace 'undress' by 'address' or by other relevant words that may rhyme with it?
