This Poem is not my Own

I've been busy with homework and haven't been able to write anything. But, I was thinking of plagiarism and convinced myself to take a break and write this. I think it turned out pretty good.

“This Poem Is Not My Own.

This poem is not my own

It belongs to somebody else

Somebody I don’t know,

or maybe somebody I do.

This poem belongs to the first person who thought it

to the first person that dreamt of doing it

somebody that came long before me

This poem has been written in the exact same way

with the same words,

and perhaps the same font.

And maybe that person is me.

There is a chance that this is original

That this is the first time this has been written.

So slim, but still possible.

El primero puede ser en español

Maybe it was a draft and they changed it

Maybe this poem was something that might have been.

An idea on paper that never made it into existence

But I know that somebody will write this.

Somebody far from now will do as I did

If humanity goes on forever,

and english goes on with it,

then this poem will be copied,

word by word,

by somebody not knowing that it had been done before.

I can barely call this my own.”
