I Hate Your Poetry

I Hate Your Poetry

I know why

You say...
Her poems are simply too long
Her obsession with God is too much for me
There’s no real debt to her poetry

I say...
I see strait through you
the real reason for the strife
you know I write the truth
and it cuts like a knife
cuts right through the heart
that bleeds I want to change
but you’re not ready to change now
and you don’t want to read about how

sick & tired of me preaching at you
I don’t mean to preach
I just have a few things to say
I really don’t mean to make you feel that way
I believe the truth will set you free
The real reason why you hate my poetry

This is a very original poem it has a good message, it is quite an outspoken message which is a breath of fresh air it's good to know someone has something different to say, well done.

hi dear friend,

Some people just don't like religion or be told what's wrong and right, you shouldn't mind that. We can find those kind of people around us easily!
Wish you the best.
