I Write For Myself

So sue me I don’t write like you I don’t pay attention to form and rhyme scheme, And I shouldn’t have to, That’s the beauty of art I write from the heart I say what I feel Why must it be structured a certain way, In order to be real? I will not write a haiku Nor a senryu What’s it to you? Does that mean I’m fake? It’s time you wake up Get over yourself I won’t change my ways, Because you say they’re wrong I won’t change my ways, Because the forms say they’re wrong I don’t write for your forms, Or anything else I write for myself
