I hate your poetry.

You try to add meaning 

rather than writing with passion and desire.

 

Your need for validation of your complex

English vocabulary is worth pitying-

pointless dramas and sob stories

whose only purpose is to look pretty and sound nice.

 

How do you feel? Liberated? Open?

What emotion churns inside you when pen touches paper?

 

I hate your poetry.


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece about my boyfriend. He shares some of his work with me, and I am supportive of his creative journey- but poetry and writing is much more meaningful when coming from the heart.
