Good God, Me

*internal thinking* "Well, this is new. Maybe I should try this out…
I'm sure you can do it! 
You're totally a great writer. 
But, why do you want to try something that frustrates you?
Let's try the word... My favourite, actually: Simplicity.

So, you want to know whY? 
I want to learn how to projecT 
My voice in such a way I 
Purposely inspire without being generiC 
Look, you’re struggling to even finish this form I
I can do it, I swear! ... I look to see he’s right to telL 
Could you stop looking at me like that!? just please don't give uP 
I M so lost 
Today, I… don’t know 
You know what I’ve realized about myself? I Suck at writing! 


I’ve never done this before! My shell is shellshocked!
I’m just too cold to hatch, huh? Yes! I'm an idiot for trying! 


I couldn't do iT
Didn’t I think to remind myself I'm just sO
Incapable … just… I can’t make anything seem like I
Own any kind of talent… Self-loathe has a gun to my heaD 
Try again, one side of my shoulder says… wait... Keep looking… wait.. I


I did it… 
Said the idiot. 
Forget incapability. 


(Author's notes: I know this isn't following the rules, but no other entry will be like mine. How much you want to bet? I'd rather break the rules than break my words to fit another's satisfaction.)

Christy Stover Date: 11/10/2016 11:06:00 PM Rules were meant to be broken. Poetry is self expression. Live up to your own standards and don't worry about anyone else's. You have a great poem here. Keep writing what you want how you want. Login to Reply Agony Aiane Date: 11/10/2016 11:08:00 PM This is actually for a contest, which is why it's all over the place. i thank you.
