Reasons I hate writing poetry

Because I can never think of a subject.

Because I never have any deep things to say.

Because I can never write enough words.

Because I write too may words.

Because I can’t think of a big variety of words.

Because everyone else’s poems seem to be significant to them.

Because I can’t express my feelings through words.

Because I have to read it out loud.

Because people raise their hand when they say they liked writing the poem but this is the only poem I’ve enjoyed.

Because I can’t even understand the meaning behind the other poems written.

Because I don’t know what a stanza is.

Because I spend more time trying to write poetry than I spend on my other classes.

Because I constantly have to ask my friends for help.

Because this is the only class I’m struggling with.

Because I never learned how to write poetry in high school.

Because I didn’t know there were so many types of poetry

Because you can’t fake poetry

Because I should be doing my other homework

Because I could be hanging out with my friends

Because I never seem to improve with my poetry

Maybe one day I’ll like writing poetry but not today
