It's Only Poetry

They tell me to use style
They tell me I need to rhyme
As if it's a god damn crime

I'll write what I want
I show my feelings this way
Don't take it from me

So what if it's not perfect?
Don't read it
Poetry is poetry, end of story

I know there's no flow
And it's choppy most of the time
But it's only words

I love to write
I love to express
This is my only way

I feel I'm good at it
You may not
Everyone is entitled to their feelings
As am I

There's not plot
Or rhythm
I know

My spelling is off
I used the wrong word
Who honestly cares?
It's only poetry you know
