Not a poetry

the mistake I made was I began calling myself a poet and I began calling my writing poetry but when you label yourself as anything a comedian an artist a musician a filmmaker a dancer a painter you give the word permission to critique you as such you become restricted you invite comparison and expectation the truth is it was never poetry it was always just words it was what I had to offer the world... ...so if you have something to offer the world know that it doesn't have to fit in a neat little box in fact, it shouldn't make what you like make what is honest make what you need make what is unexpected but don't try to be something I mourn for all the art that is lost because we let ourselves forget that art is the outcome of our expression not the other way around the goal is not to make music, poetry, art it is to set something within you free
