Am I a Poetic Sellout

When I first started writing it was all fun and games. Now that I'm a poet for hire, things haven't been the same. I been to stress out with people telling me what to write, and when to write. I feel like I lost my "poetry rights." It's like I'm fighting to be-you know me. I know my dream is to get every ones ears to remember me, but I didn't know it would bring so much stress upon me. I feel like every time I write they always want the best of me. Sheesh, come on now! I'm only sixteen! But for some odd reason I can't seem to quit. Not even a little bit. How many books do I really have to put out? Before I become a "Poetic sellout?"
