damn them

Damn every poetry contest that makes you cut up your work, your art, your precious feelings. All to fit into a tiny box. If I can't submit all of it then there is no chance of winning anyway, so why even bother submitting it at all, who am I kidding. I am not capable of writing something meaningful, something thought-provoking, in 21 lines or less. Perhaps I am not a good poet because of that, well so be it, I will not limit myself, not for those posers, those fools.
