You....You THEIF!!!

For an interesting group of people....

Steal my work, I won't fight you back,
Lacking experience and raw emotion is where you lack.

Your originality is clearly weak,
Words leave your lips that were not yours to speak.

Your writing is bland so you steal from another,
Thing's you've never felt, experiences you've never had; it's all a cover.

As a friend once said with such poise,
"They can copy my words, but they can't have my voice!"

You take from me what you don't possess,
Lying, deceitful, OH, so devious.

You sneak around and endeavor to befriend me,
All the while picking through my writes, uncredited goes my Psyche.

Your mind is blank, your eyes cannot see,
You'll never have another piece of poetry without me.

You claim my life as your own,
Steal my thunder, my feelings all because you're alone.

You've obviously no talent, so anothers you submit,
I'm angry, but to you, I give it as my gift.

So on with the lies and on with the theft,
Your response falls upon the ears of the deaf.

Please. If someone is brave enough to steal my work; be brave enough to feel the belittlement in this poem. This is for all writers; not just myself, who've experience this in some type of form or another.

SN: I don't know if you can see the genre I chose for this piece... if not, I put it under "Nonsense". Because surely the actions of stealing another's work IS PURELY NONSENSE!

A clever piece that I can relate too. You cleverly turned the nonsense of people copying other peoples work into a powerful work of art. I don't understand people like that who waste their own time and other people's time pretending to be something they are not. When poetry is the art and expression of the soul. And a personal art that comes from within.

Unique idea :) I like how this rhymed and the beat it had. I also liked the words you used. The anger in this piece gets through really well and so does the point. Well done on that.
