^{_{"Poetry Soup has unjustly censored this poem. I have slightly changed this piece from the original write to be more "Soup" friendly. Sometimes my inner poet is gangster, even though I fully maintain this corporate facade. I have a letter opener and I am not afaird to use it."}}

I have been A shut in and shut out Kicked in and kicked out Strung up and strung out Sore thumb that's stuck out I'm not a saint or girl scout But I've cut ink and bled out Mi vida loca like "Blood In Blood Out" And each one I've wrote about Knowing at least I'm not a sell out This is the therapy of my soul shout! I'm not looking for a handout Persuading you I have clout I do this for me… If this you ever do doubt Then you can kick rocks and get the hell out

Absolutely beautiful. I can relate in so many ways. I feel like we should be able to express ourselves fully but the rules hold us back.

Your note made me smile. I think many of us write for the release it gives us. Although it is nice to receive comments from someone we find to be accomplished and we perhaps even admire for their ability in an area of our interest, such as writing, we would likely still do it, even if they were not there. It is a selfish endeavor and there is nothing wrong with that. As for the Soup, I believe they have an algorithm for determining inappropriate content and no human actually sees it.
