Who am I Writing too?

by Nicole M. - Gemini

To the people, as the one I live with
Moved by cotton candy poetry
Decepted fullfilment.
Ones with noses up high in the air
Of rightousness and superciliousness
Hautingly gave the o.k. for Poe, Keats, and Hemmingway
To an empathetic reader
Following the crowd.

Who am I writing too?
Honestly, I wish it was me.
Or maybe the question should be
Who IS writing?
A fluff-lover with obnoxiously shallow words;
The critiques and teachers
Echoing

Is this why I don't even like my own poems?
Because they were never really mine.
