Something that really fucking eats at me
Is when I can't rhyme things perfectly
I wonder if it's just my O.C.D.
But I feel like rhyming is compulsory
I have a lot to learn evidently
About what makes poetry, poetry
Get it through my head that it's about the meaning
That no one really gives a shit whether or not it's rhyming
-
So where do I go from here?
Should I just fall into place?
Or am I held by fear?
Fear of change, of trying to improve
Because I hold my routine so dear
Unless I change, life will move on without me
That much is clear
-
I rhyme by compulsion but do I have to?
Because nothing is perfect
Nothing in this life can be
I think I understand
That poetry is more than just words
It's your soul, diffused into ink
Splashed across the page
It's beautiful, because it can be anything
