What I'm Not

I've written since the age of 14, I'm now 49, I don't copy, plagiarise or try to cheaply imitate, I write in a way that comes natural to me. I couldn't care less if people read it or think it's good or bad, I don't write for validation I write because I have to, it's part of the life in my bloody. I don't read the poets of the past I simply stay within the bubble of my mind, it's about finding your own voice and mastering it, it's not about trying to recreate writers that have come and gone. Nowadays so many people copy and imitate having no idea who they really are and what they want to say. I can't stand fake, trendy hipsters that are trying to be something they're not, especially when it comes to the arts.  

Thanks
