You won’t read this,
but if you do,
you’ll walk away.

You’re gone, now, aren’t you?
You won’t even score.
No comment.
You don’t care.

I don’t care about you either.
I write for me.
You think I’m writing for your enjoyment?
Think I’m posting because I want attention?

I want nothing like that.
Fame, fortune, glory, awards,
all are just side effects.

Not for me.
Okay, awards, maybe.
I like those.
It’s nice to be recognised by peers,
but not necessary.

You’ll notice little rhyme,
somewhat flowing;
I don’t care about structure.

I have something to say,
but to say it to nobody in particular.

So, you won’t read this.
You won’t score.
You won’t comment.

You’ll just ignore.
That’s just my life.
Ignore me,
I’m cool with that.

It allows me to get on with it,
no judgements.
I just write.

It’s all for me.
