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.

Harley White September 25, 2014 at 9:24 AM I agree with the sentiments you express, though I don't consider it to be "self-loathing". Jim Tidd September 25, 2014 at 9:50 AM 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."
