Me


I don't write with rhyme

nor do I write in any particualr style other than

what I want to say

I want to make it clear

I don't want interpretations

this poem is not one which has hidden meaning

Sit at your desk and analyze my poem

but don't tell me what is says

you can't

just because you know what a metaphor is

just because you can tell when personification is used

just because you are able to explain the difference betweengustatory and visual imagery

doesn't mean you know more than I do

it means you know different

inbetween these lines are gaps

nothing

and nothing more

I say what I mean

and I'm tired of you looking deeper

take my words for my words

take my actions as my actions

take me for me
