Dedicated To All the Haters

I write what I feel, 
what I see.

Have of the time 
**** that I write 
doesn't relate to 
me...

But I do it for my 
fans, something 
they can relate to.

At times I get criticize 
for what I say, what I 
write...

But that's me,
I can't change 
what's destined
to be.

If my poetry didn't 
intrigue you, then 
you wouldn't have 
read it and respond.

You give me the 
strength to move 
on...

That even though 
I'm hated on by a 
few, I still can get 
through to the ones 
that appreciate what 
I do.

I'm in a higher level 
of understanding, 
and I won't let anyone 
break me.

I'm me, a poet elite...

Who goes by the name 
Poet Shi.

My poetry will never die,
it's immortal...

Long after I'm gone
it'll be read by everyone.

I would never criticise a poet or their poem Poet Shi - if I don't like it or understand it I simply don't comment. Would hate to think anyone hated you for your freedom to express yourself. Hugs jan xxx
