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.
