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?"
