i like free verse poetry
if you couldn't tell
cause writing rhyming poems, for me,
never turns out well
it feels like i am in a cage
when i try to rhyme my lines
i have to write to a certain beat
so my verses are such confined
free verse poetry is seen as fake
in so many writers' eyes
but it frees my mind to release its thoughts
that might have been my demise
and with that in mind,
i don't think i want to rhyme anymore.
i don't know if this is real poetry,
i don't know if i'm a real writer,
i don't know if i'm doing this right,
i don't know if this writing is right,
but i know that i like free verse, and for me,
that's enough.

i know this poem isn't entirely true because i don't think really any writer sees free verse as fake, but in my mind, it feels like that, so i put it in this piece. remember that any poem, free verse or rhyming, long or short, ballad or sonnet, limerick or haiku, they're all poetry, and they're all art. thanks so much for reading!
