My Way

Do you think it hurts?

That you don't like my verse,

That you ridicule my prose

And say they are just absurd

But maybe I am being perspicacious

And doing it my way,

Living life in more visceral display

Than out of a dictionary of clever word play.

Do you think your disparaging of my work

Will stop me doing what I am doing

Well let me offer you these words,

I am existential and manifesting my own light,

And I don't seek your approval nor your likes.
