by tattooedbeatmessiah - Libra

from the heart,
that's where a good poem originates,
all the poetry classes and 
all the grammer classes 
don't make a real poet,
it comes from within,
it's not taught, it's learned
from life and the shit you have 
to go through just to make it until you die,
that's all i want to do,
just make it until my time is up,
all i'll leave is notes and poems
penned on napkins and notebooks,
my legacy on the backs of envelopes and 
left in shoeboxes all over the house.
my life becomes poems,
neatly wrapped in twenty lines or so,
i've been to hell and 
my words are all i have left,
so just a little letter to the anonymous critics,
if you like my poems then 
thank you, read some more,
if you don't like them, 
then don't read them,
they are not for you, 
i don't need you anyway.

Reason for writing:

    some people just don't understand and others are too concerned about form and style they just don't see the real picture of life....
