Writing Poems (Sort of) Well
Fearing that I won't articulate my thoughts correctly and
worrying that what I want to say isn't worth the read.
Ripping a page out because I already
fucked something up only
the first line in.
I want to convey thoughts effectively
and I want people to understand what I'm saying
and I want people to feel understood
and I want and I want and I want and I want..
stop.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Resume.
What if my poems all sound the same?
And what if I never write any of them
exactly the way I want to?
What if they're not good enough for anyone,
what if they're stupid?
I guess I'll see.
