It doesn't stand alone very well, so it's hard to say how it would be in a poem. It needs context, and depending on that context, it could be good or stupid.

It was intended to be a poem about myself, each sentence begining with the phrase "I am". I was going to use it as the ending line, but I think I'm going to change it to "I am waiting and ready to take on my future" instead.

nothing is stupid to a poet

sometimes you have to use political license

like in Shakespear

A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet

horshit by any other name would still smell like hosreshit

Poetry isn't about public opinion, it's about expressing yourself. You can't really judge a poem by one line either. But I think that's a good line, it's true and real. =)
