And when I wake up I’ll feel differently
I don't want to write "good" poetry anymore.
I don't want to post some half assed rhymes to meet a quota.
I don't want to be a statistic with every Oxford comma I neglect to use.
If I even attempt caring about punctuation.
I want to write about the reasons my heart is full,
And the reasons it breaks from time to time.
To do the beautiful world around me justice as I explore the vastness of it all.
I want to write about the man I love, and how his words make my skin flush and my heart race,
But I'm not prepared to lose it all.
So I mustn't write about it.
After all,
To be a poet is to turn loss into art,
And I've done my time.
