My feelings are true
They are my life's blood spring
but irrelevant.

Couplets and quatrains
or free form self indulgence
It's my time to waste

Five- seven- five lines
stacked to challenge my ego
poor pedestrian.

Here I go again
my ink is not innocent
my soul is tainted

Why do we do it?
What is there to gain from this?
What is the **** point?

I undress my self,
and Adonis, I am not!
better look away

This is what it's like
to expose myself and dare
to pretend it's art.
I feel the urge to apologize for this piece.  I'm not quite sure why. Perhaps I feel like it's classic self indulgence on my part.  Here it is though.  I have to post them all as they come.  It was inspired by a stranger who said, "Your feelings are irrelevant."  It was a random declaration on a forum..It made me write this.
