To some extend I do agree. However, I fully can't believe that poetry is just the ability to manipulate words as poetry helps us to provide an outlet to our emotions, which would otherwise suffocate us to death. What I believe is, Poet doesn't make poetry, poetry makes poet.

Liked your unique idea of portraying your feelings in the form of poetry.

I'm glad to be back for I've been dealing with such bullshit lately.Happy to have returned and to find your words still flowing.
As for your poem:manipulation is usually needed when the truth is somehow being betrayed.So I guess your correct because many poets are usually timid and need to fully explain themselves when otherwise a simple "you fuckin' suck" will suffice:))
