Can i call myself a poet!

Can i be a person ,u wud call a poet
I'll be writing poems before anyone cud know it.
People say iam obessesed,
others think iam posessed.
I tell them iam sorry that i always rhyme,
i can't help it i do it all the time. :)
Living alone far from home,
i haven't come here to write alone.
Still i think writing is fun,
and i guess while reading it ,one shud not run.
Every word counts,they pound on you face
slow down and enjoy them ,its not a race.
Nothing perhaps is more in my mind,
So presently i think its leaving time.
