The Princess Saves Herself in this One

A lot of people think because the author hits enter after every few words, this does not “count” as poetry. And it's perfectly okay to think that. However, poetry is defined as: “literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm; poems collectively or as a genre of literature.” Nothing about format, technically, poetry can be anything. This is definitely a literary work, with plenty of complex emotion, and a simple format. It's okay to disagree, but this definitely “counts” to me.

Everyone can have their opinion, I don't judge that. I ask you don't judge mine, so here it is: It's not the format that matters, it's the content that matters. And here I see a piece of work, that is passionate and truthful, and will likely help a lot of people who have, or are currently facing abuse.
