I Hate Poetry by Erin Jonesi hate poetry
full of love and hate
and everything in between
no matter my mood
it gets me into a bad one
and no matter how beautifully
it may be written
it always gets to me
i hate poetry
it stimulates emotion
forces things upon me
and i especially hate
when i write it myself
because then i start sulking
and feeling sorry for myself
start thinking about
all the things that are wrong
and never stop to consider
what's going right
i hate poetry
it makes me create
worlds of imagination
that i don't necessarily
have the desire to leave
i hate poetry
because it seems to make me
think too much about me
