I showed my poems to a friend of mine and she told me it wasn't real poetry. I asked why? "It doesn't rhyme, the meaning is too open, you don't have to think to get it." What is that supposed to mean I want you to get my poems I use them to cry for help I can't afford the help I need so I write words instead of crying I told her if it was too simple she should go read Bradbury or something I don't need to rhyme to tell you things like Those who are heartless once cared too much Or The most broken people smile the most I know because that's me ****** I don't need your validation if you don't validate me at all.
