Practicality led me down a secure path in life. Ambition coaxed me to be the best at my career. Reading literature and writing poetry had nothing to do with my real life until I recognized both as an outlet for stress and a means of coping with reality. Sometimes I think I should have been an English teacher but if I did that, where would I go to get away from it all?
Poetry is my hobby but I secretly hope to be published some day…don’t we all?

This speaks to your creativity and yearning to explore, as well as a little ADD maybe? To this I can relate. Since you used punctuation, I would consider Capitalizing your first word. If you don't like that, you should probably eliminate the punctuation and use a dash. Enjoyable!
Great metaphor and excellent imagery! Some suggestions to make it sound more "poem-like": Eliminate punctuation articles and some conjunctions - to clean it up a bit.

This is reality and everyone will be able to appreciate the gut-wrenching honesty. I like your alliteration of birthed/block and the personification of pregnancy. Best wishes!
