I'M Writing Poetry
I remember a couple of years ago
That I took a Composition class,
I’m ashamed to say my grades,
But let’s say I barely passed.
I had been writing for awhile,
But one thing I didn’t see
I wasn’t meant to write essays,
I was meant to write poetry.
What made it hard, for me, I guess
When I took that Composition Class
Was remember all the rules, and spellings and all
And all the things that Grammar has.
When I write here, I am not worried
When my Grammar’s wrong, you see.
It’s really just me and the way I speak
When I’m writing poetry.
I had an English teacher that once said,
This thing that she told me
I can’t go wrong, when it’s just my style
When I’m writing poetry.
So I guess that I’ll keep doing what I’m doing now,
And continue to let myself be.
I’ve found what I should be doing,
When I’m writing poetry!
