I’ve been taking a break from writing public poetry
I was exhausted from thinking about what was good
What was bad, or what I actually believed to be true
It seemed like all I ever really wrote about was love
Love is one end of the spectrum, heart break the other
I was fed up with doing that like I’m fed up with rhyming
For a while I’ll just be writing my thoughts
As they naturally flow
I mainly only write when I’m out of my element
When emotions become too much to bare
So I push them off on others who relate
In all honesty I only care about attention
I want to be noticed for who I am
Whether you love what I write or hate it
I’m here, I’m always going to be here
I’ll never stop writing because I love doing it
It relaxes me, and gives me a sense of purpose
I have a view point that matters
My opinions count as much as anyone else’s
And I don’t know why it’s so difficult
It’s hard finding someone who sees things as I do
I’m a goofy person, I like a variety of different things
I love trying new things
I have strong beliefs
But I’m great at compromise and I’m not closed minded
So I just don’t understand
There’s a lot I don’t understand
It’s a feeling I despise
I don’t know why
So I’ll just write out my emotions
Scribble my problems into poetry
I am art, you are art, everyone is art
I might be misunderstood by some
I’ll be too different
But maybe someone will like what I write
Someone will agree with my art
They’ll share my opinions and thoughts
I pray that things will get better
That’s all I can hope for
