Lament of the Amateur Poet [Poem]

I wish that fleeting moment was captured by a poet of greater skill,
because I am unequipped to convey these inscrutable emotions.

I wish this despair was someone else's burden,
so it could be purged into a better poem than I can write.

I wish this joy was someone else's blessing,
so it could be recorded into a better poem than I could write.

A poet with a lucid memory and a mastery of word choice -
Oh! And lots of free time. Just an altogether better poet than I.
