look
look
look
at these
words and
the way
i arrange them
look
at the deliberate
lower case
which i once saw
in
the notebook
of a melodramatic
friend
and thought
it looked artsy
look
at my deliberate lack
of all
punctuation
(save for the
occasional emphatic
set of
parentheses)
which helps to mask
the fact
that i am not
quite certain
where it ought to go
look
at the abrupt
ends
of my lines
and the enforced
enjambment
(at least
i suppose that
should be
the term)
that does not
perfectly
hide the inherent
choppiness
look
i say
look
on this poem
and call it art
call it deep
wonderful
acknowledge me
and my work
though
i admit
it really is
rather awful
that is not
the point
i am young
i will learn
if now
while i angst
in the typical
teenage fashion
i know
that i may write
i may share
a minuscule measure
of beauty
from pain
and somewhere
somebody
will listen
Because we're all really hard on teenage would-be poets, we tend to forget freedom of creative expression. I don't write in that style naturally (thank the deity of your choice), nor do my friends, but that doesn't mean that a lack of punctuation is bad by default. Nor are those who use it. Also, I utterly fail at adolescent angst-y pleas.
