Poetic Voice

My style is not refined
And that might be how I'm defined
Though conventional wisdom I defied
It's in the heart of poetry I reside

My heart bursts with words
All I want is my soul to be heard
For this is my tonic, my cure
That will leave my spirit pure

Monolithic testaments to my aspiration
Have sometimes fueled exasperation
I might have done it for the attention
But all I want is an arbitrary mention

I may not have a poetic voice
But my words are more than noise
And if it's a little verbose
That's just me I do suppose
