Clarity In Poetry
Maybe I don’t
want
this poem to be clear.
Maybe
I don’t feel like you
looking into my mind.
Maybe I’d rather not have
my words
be windows.
Maybe
there’s a reason
I avoid clarification.
Maybe
I choose to differ
from what is expected.
Maybe I don’t feel
like obeying your rules
your ideas of what makes poetry.
Maybe what I’d really love
is to drop this pen
and run.
Maybe I don’t
want this poem
to make sense.
Maybe I just
can’t understand
why it has to.

Honestly.
