People tell me what to write
What to feel
They say I don't focus on love in my poems
But how am I supposed to when I've never been in love?
They want the romance poems
The ones that show how hopelessly in love I am
They want the heartbreak poems
The ones where I talk about how hurt I am from a breakup
They want the revenge poems
The ones that talk about how much I hate my ex
Yet they never let me write what I want
What I feel
How am I supposed to write about those things when I've never experienced it?
I've never had somebody want to be with me
Because they know I'm more trouble than it's worth
I wrote one love poem called Burning Fire
I felt like a liar
None of it was true
None of it happened
It was only for those who wanted it
They want the happy poems
The ones filled with sunshine and rainbows
Because they hate how negative I am
I didn't choose to be a pessimist though
It chose me
My pain made me into the very essence of a person I hate
If it's my fault for being depressed
Than surely it must be your fault for being happy
The logic makes no sense because it's nonsense
I write about relationships and friendships
But it's not what they want
But I refuse to write what they want to hear
I write want I need to say
And if it that bothers you
Then why are you reading this poem anyway?
