Dedicated to all my poems taken from me over my life.People look at my poetry,As a complete waste of energy.Every time someone actually takes the time to read,The sarcasm takes steed.They feel the need to tell me,How I write so negatively.They joke about it after that,As if I were wearing a funny hat.So now I command your attention,About the treatment I did mention.I think you’d be wise to obey,The respect I am about to lay.I did not ask you to take some time to read,So your sarcasm better not breed.I don’t care if you think they are too dark in my way,I don’t write them to make you stay.I only write about how I feel inside,And all my poems carry my pride.So listen carefully,Your arrogance is only fuel for me.
