I tried to write my book today.

Insanely Hilarious

I tried to write my book today,
A beautiful disaster that was.
My plot went sideways on page 5, 
My worth went down the drain.

I tried to write my book today,
They laughed back at me. 
Said "Princess, give up. You're not good enough." 
Help, motivate me.

I tried to write my book today,
I realized I suck at this,
Perhaps I was never good at this,
Dear lord, I wish to cry.

    A poem of how other's criticism affects the belief of others. A sad write of diminished belief of oneself

    • Insanely Hilarious

      I'm curious to know. Tell me more of your thoughts

      • sorenbarrett

        We are all affected by the words of others and tend to incorporate them into our own beliefs. If they are negative telling us we can not write we begin to believe it. Don't believe it! Keep writing.
