My Parents MAG
I am irate
With my parents
They are unaware
Of how difficult they have made
Poetry
For me
They seem to have forgotten the
number one
Tool
In a poet's arsenal
They seem to have forgotten
That hundreds of poets have
Established
Their craft purely on
Their deleterious and
Stifling childhoods
It would appear that my parents
Are not in support
Of my poetry because they
Do not provide me with
Inspiration
For my writing
They are
Too loving
Too caring
Too supportive
To have much to
Write about
Unfortunately,
I am mentally sane,
Without horrifying childhood scars,
Without deep emotional conflictions,
Without hate and anger pumping through my
Circulatory system
It is a pity
That I have been raised in
An affectionate
Warm, Vibrant, and Encouraging
Community
I will never make it as a poet,
With an exceptional childhood
I have had it
Either my parents afflict me
With these conditions,
Or I will afflict myself
Until then
I must endure
The pain and suffering
And am forced
To have subjects
Such as this
For poems

lol! nice one !! keep writing and great work! XD
Many a poet came from a background of great dismay and misary. I don't exactly think I can say the same for you xD A poet with a harsh life has the benifit of the doubt when it comes to describing a painful encounter, or a muerderous relationship that ended in a restraining order LOL
These are some of the things you could write of . . . if you'd known them.
You did not, and yet you still have a great poem. Congratz ;)
