all this time i've been looking to be whole,
instead of being one with my emptiness
Maybe one day you will see this
And probably know it's for you
Of all the loves I've ever known
You were my most true
I always score so much better on Words With Friends when I'm ******
I don't know what to do with that
Poetry is for those who write it,
not for those who read it.
28 December 2017 - How I feel about poetry.

Short edit: I've invoked a bit of controversy over this poem, and that is a good thing in the grand scheme of things. I just wanted to clarify an important point, however. This poem is not intended convey that poetry is not at all for the reader. I only mean to express that the writer is in the unique position of having written the poem, but there are many readers. I tend to write poetry for myself, but I'm happy if readers share in my poetry.
