Poetry

I write until my fingers hurt
about love and hate
about war and rape
I write to show my feelings
it's my form of healing
I choose to rhyme or not
whatever I want I get
although I usually write about how I don't
I make music with words
never meant to be sung
my work is done
when and where I want
when I wrote it's like
I'm on a word hunt
my thesaurus my only companion
I always complain "My writing sucks"
while secretly loving every line
I write with a meaning
deeper then what can be seen
without even realizing it
I just do what I
feel to be right
even if it starts a fight
I write to be heard
though most don't understand a word
I write in a code
composed on my very own
my writing is sensational
even though it's no more than word slop
that I label poetry
so that's what it is
