Why

Why is it I write with such plain words? Why don’t I use a rare one? Why don’t they sound as good when their heard? Why not good in the long run? Why can’t I find words that embellish? Why don’t they sing like a song? Why is it my work sounds so hellish? What am I doing that’s wrong? Why can’t I create hidden meaning? Why write it just like it is? Why not make it so it needs screening? Why shouldn’t it be a quiz? Why can’t I learn to garnish a word? Why aren’t they ever dressed up? Why don’t you proceed to give me the bird? Why don’t I stop and shut up?

I should write the other side of the coin. Why do I write such things that nobody else can understand? Tony
