Best Poems Written by Ian Gokenbach

Release

I’m unsure in what I write, whether subject matter or product
Are the words I put to page worthy of being a construct?
Am I saying something worth saying, worth making
Worth reading, worth saving, worth the work slaving
Day in and day out when the payout is a tracing
Of a thought that’s been drawn to its conclusion since the dawn of creation
Let’s face it, I can’t reinvent the wheel, but is it okay if I just express how I feel?
I know the answer’s yes, but that’s evident 
It’s less about knowing it, it’s more about accepting it
I always expect more of me, why write formally
When its quality soon becomes the precedent
Maybe it would be better if I put myself under less pressure
Maybe it would be better if I didn’t give it my best effort and just let it out
