I wrote a poem for you all!! I haven't written in a while, motivation, and fanfic writing has been kicking my ass. I felt this poem deeply as I was writing it. It was like a beas that was infecting my brain and needed to come out through several couplets, a quatrains, and some type of ending stanza. Enjoy! <3<3<3<3
I haven't been able to write
1.
I haven't been able to write at all
It is a shame how something so very small
2.
As a bad grade on a test or an unclean room
Strengthen the impending sense of doom
3.
Is doom, for a poet, having nothing left to say
Having words that impact in no kind of way
4.
Following a pattern, couplets I suppose
Trying to change the world through meaningless prose
5.
Is writing a poem, the way I am now
Part of the problem and if so, how?
6.
"This is not a real poem", one could say
And I would agree in many a way
7.
Am I rhyming to rhyme or do I mean something deep
Where are the answers I desperately seek
8.
I feel lost, as a poet, as if I'm no one at all
Drowning in my thoughts and feeling so small
9.
Perhaps that is why I'm not able to write
Perhaps I have given up all of my fight
10.
Perhaps I shouldn't post my words to the world
And read any comments painstakingly curled
11.
Up into a ball, do they like what I say
Do I matter at all at the end of the day?
12.
Maybe I'll break the rules like the best poets do
But then how will my message shine faithfully true
13.
There's so much confusion and way too much sound
In the conventions and rules all bouncing around
14.
Let me write, god damnit, let me right as I please
In a world with no pushback let me write with ease
15.
I have all the thoughts, they're in my head
So save your rules for the creatively dead
16.
I won't follow your rules any longer
Tryrants of poetry
Sic semper tyranis
The poem ends how ever I see
Why do I number these at all?.
And it ends like this:
I will write as I will write
And I will be who I want to be
