This is a legitimate sonnet. Rhyme scheme, meter, all of that.
I usually tend to write free verse poetry, sometimes with limited rhyme or other poetic devices.
But sonnets are awesome if they are done right and I thought I'd go ahead and write a conventional one. Not my first ever but my first to be posted here.
I guess I can't really judge if this one is "done right" or not as I wrote it, and the pre-conceived bias would be apparent. So read it, tell me what you think.
Love you.

Exploration into Conventional Poetry: A Sonnet
I don’t have a poem inside me screaming
To come out. No words that must be written,
Or lines that are full-formed, simply flowing.
I am a part time poet, not smitten
With any specific rhyme or reason.
A man/boy/undecided who loves truth
But longs for ideals that could be treason
When placed inside the heart of honest youth.
Though beyond truth and ideals, I believe
That love itself, when pure, can prove all three,
And to this ideology I cleave--
Proving it exists, knowing it proves me.
In my heart I find questions not answers,
But they hold beauty, like twirling dancers.
