I am a poet
Till the end
I remember when
I didn't know it
So long ago the pen did fall
Never used
Not at all
Wordless paper so pure and white
Then my world was stole away
A year of anger, pain, and hate
Then I found a way
To get rid of the shame
Take a pen
That white paper
It began to stain
And to this day
The pen has stayed
Poised above a plain white page
Ready for yet another day

A really poignant piece. I loved some of the phrases you used here. "wordless paper" was my favourite. What a wonderful description.
And I love the first verse, with the spin on the old "Im a poet and I didnt know it" phrase.
Nicely penned.
