Some People don't understand poetry
They think everything has to rhyme
Sometimes I write poems full of mystery
And people say that they're "just fine"
But how can you rate something so deep
Something for which I am proud
Something that came straight from my heart
Why is it so hard to please the crowd?
I truly don't care what people think
But it would be nice to receive some validation
Instead people tell me to do something more productive
But I love making my own creations
I love every poet out there
I feel as if I know you even though I don't
Maybe one day I'll meet you
Maybe I wont
But I want to say thank you
For sharing your souls and your deepest feelings with me
We are a loving community
We all let our hearts run free
They think everything has to rhyme
Sometimes I write poems full of mystery
And people say that they're "just fine"
But how can you rate something so deep
Something for which I am proud
Something that came straight from my heart
Why is it so hard to please the crowd?
I truly don't care what people think
But it would be nice to receive some validation
Instead people tell me to do something more productive
But I love making my own creations
I love every poet out there
I feel as if I know you even though I don't
Maybe one day I'll meet you
Maybe I wont
But I want to say thank you
For sharing your souls and your deepest feelings with me
We are a loving community
We all let our hearts run free
I see everyone's poetry as a piece of themselves, something they put time into, something they care for, something that they love so much that they want to share their feelings and passions with others. It is a work of art. There are people out there who don't understand why we love to write and they aren't deep enough to truly understand what our poetry means, and for them to criticize it and put it down just ****** me off. Don't get me wrong, I love constructive criticism, just not from those who have never written or attempted to write a day in their lives.
