I Can't Write Free Verse

I may try and try to just write some
Free verse poetry
But the lines always decide to group up into stanzas of four
With a rhyme scheme
ABAB
Or sometimes
ABBA
But I don't mean the band there
I definitely mean like lines one and four rhyme and lines two and three rhyme
Oh and there's the good old
AABB
Where it's just like
Why aren't these just couplets
I mean they're rhyming that way may as well just make them into two separate stanzas
Right
Except no, that's not right, because maybe sometimes the thought flows through those four lines better than two sets of two
And hey look at what I'm doing
I just wrote
Free verse poetry
And you know what
It really wasn't worth it
