Poetry: By a Poet

See here's the thing with poetry There is no higher or lower key There's no shading or blending I like to think it's just pretending Like you know what you're doing Through the cheers and the booing If you're like me and words are tools Then you write regardless of the fools You could do it for yourself or not It doesn't matter just leave the pot Unstirred no need to start fights Mouthfuls just make harder bites Think through your obvious talents And simply find a gentle balance Of course you can try something new If you want that is, you don't have to
