This is not the world's greatest poem.

This is Not the World's Greatest Poem

This is not the world's greatest poem
The greatest poem was written by someone else
This will not show you any truth
Or have any unique significance
It is just a foolish poem
It’s not the Mona Lisa
It’s not T. H. Elliot
It’s just another
Stupid poem
I don’t know what it is
It just came to me
As a gift
Without ever really asking
Anything in return
Such a poem
Will never be read
By critics and genius
Who knows how to deal
With the unsaid
This poem
Will not be remembered
You’ll just shake your head
And continue with your own

It looked like your poem was going to take an interesting shape.
Not the world's greatest poem - true, but I liked it.

I hope you don't mind - I played around the line breaks, because at this moment your poem is more interesting to me than my own.

Stupid poem
I don’t know what
it is. It just came
to me as a gift;

Such a poem, will never
be read by critics and genius
who knows how to deal with the
unsaid. This poem will not be remembered
You’ll just shake your head

Thanks and no I don't mind. I usually just write the poems without line breaks, but your version is definetly better.
