Strictly Poetry

You can take me out of context,
As long as you continue to give
respect in the beliefs I hold in me.

You can claim not to feel the same as I do
yet my words will remain as they were
inspired to,I write for expression not fame.

You can sell a million books or more,
stock the shelves of Barnes & Noble store;
Yet it has no substance, so why are you bragging.

A poet is like a free spirit,
they write what's on their mind
Sometimes you might not understand it,
but to them it was important at that time.

You can read my words and make comments,
you can misunderstand and reply with a vent
But it's Strictly Poetry,a gift that's heaven sent.
