I Hate
I hate how
No one sees my poems on this fucking site.
No one sees the tears that I cry.
No one sees how much work I put into making these.
Stupid little half-rhymes.
It's like sending your heart
Out into the
Void.
There's nothing there.
There's no one there.
One view.
Two views.
Three views.
Four views.
Stop!
No more!
She musn't feel seen!
She musn't feel heard!
She musn't feel like the medium she uses to
Express has any
POWER!
Fucking power poetry
Saps the power out of me
Wreck me with its powerful
Punch to the gut when you see that
Your best poem has not been seen.
You worked hard and long on it.
Yeah, I don't rhyme.
Yeah, I don't follow regular meter.
You can't rap to my poetry but
Emily Dickinson and
Walt Whitman
They didn't do that either.
They wrote to outline them and the world and
What is an outline of an imperfect human but
Uneven?
I don't see the point of stanzas but to
Break apart the poem so mine follow no order but the order of
My mind.
Line length isn't everything
Or so they say.
Maybe it's not just what you do with it
You know?
'Cause ain't nobody looking at my poems.
Ain't nobody hearing my voice.
Fuck this.
I'm just so quieted.
Alright I know I'm not the only one who
Writes on here to express what they can't
Out in the real world but
I need to be heard, man
I need to be seen.
Because I'm feeling hidden in the real world.
I'm feeling unwatched.
Maybe I need to know that
SOMEONE out there has the patience
To sit down and
Look into my mind.
