I Dare You
by John D UzzellEveryone tells me to write a different way
But why should I change what I do?
Everyone wants me to write the way they want
But why, I didnt write it for you!!!!
I write for myself, to express how I feel
I write to tell what I think
To express my love, to show my contempt
To understand, to know, to find the missing link.
If you dont like it, I couldnt care less
Just turn the page and go on to something else
If you cant understand it, think harder about what you see
Youre the one that ends up with less
So read it if you will, you can see a bit of what I think
I can give my opinion about anything I want
Turn the page go right ahead, I really dont care
Lets see you write something, are you up for the dare?

If about contempt you write to whom do you write? I would never try to tell someone how to write poetry. I need all the help I can get. But I've started to think about why I write and I'd like the audience to hear what I try to say and why I say it. |
