Seriously

Okay,
Yeah I watch too much TV

I like things mushy

Maybe even my brain

Okay, so yeah

I've got more to say

Whenever someone, a poetrysoup poet, comments with a question

I feel like I have to answer

And inside a comment about their poem

Is not the place

I should read the poetry without referring to my own words

Poems

Speak

The words that I am too shy

Too stupid

Too wrong to say

Too sick

Too worried

Too rushed

To find another way

Seriously

Please. Anyone who writes for the world to see (even though they can't see them) i would'nt consider shy but a voice to be heard and listened too

For some poetry is a form of therapy to release the shyness and imagination. Great write

I think the give and take about our poems is welcome, Autumn. Laughed when I read the line about the "mushy" brain. You're way too hard on yourself. Nice poetry, as always from you!
