Profanity

For I cannot help but let obscene words
flow out of my lips when I feel strong emotions,
So why is it that this damned website doesn't
permit profanities within my poetry?
Profane words may be trashy in some people's eyes,
yet I believe they reflect emotion.
Words are words, 
some beautiful,
some not
But in the long run,
if anyone is offended,
it's their problem, right?
