Self-Loathing

I don’t like much poetry, as I dislike most modern art, there is too much fakery, even here, in these paltry words, the effort not living up to standards I set for myself and others, unfairly, but still bothersome.

I agree with the sentiments you express, though I don't consider it to be "self-loathing".

I think I titled it that cause I feel bad about having the negativity. But the sentiment remains. I wrote a poem a while ago on similar vein, called "Lyrealism."
