Boundaries

I’ve learned that my poetry can have no boundaries,
I used to make it conform, one small space that it would fit in
Now I know that line counts don’t matter
Where you place each letter is a choice
There are no true critics when it comes to art
Art is unable to be judged
And yet I know that someone will be upset at my writing,
How I forget to care
Life has uncrossable lines 
I call these my prison from expressionism
Let me be clear: expressionism isn't an invitation to be coarse
In poetry, these confines are gone 
I think that’s fine
I used to write myself boxes
Now I have been freed from my cage.
