Eric Schojan Poet Free verse

Criticize

When I sit and write there's no production or beat
Just this voice in my head and the tap of my feet

You can criticize my rhymes and make fun of my flow
But the fact that you read 'em it just makes my ego grow

You can tell me they're nothing and question there worth
But every poem that I write is like a mental rebirth 

If you think you can do it better I just say "right on"
Cause the second this is competition is the second I'm gone

It's simply therapeutic and I use it as such 
You can argue, dispute it, I don't care all that much

I write about my life and the things I've been through
If it helps you to read them then these poems are for you

So I guess I can sum up the things I'd really like to say
With
If you're here to bring me down I'd rather you just go away

So if you're coming at me hard I think you best turn around
Because I won't let you ruin the peace I have found.
