It is easy

Easy to write

Easy to finish

It is just easy.

My short story

You say so much

While being

So short.

It is easy

Easy to think

Easy to interpret

It is just too easy to write.

It is difficult to

Difficult to write

Difficult to explain

It is just too difficult to create.

It is difficult

Difficult to memorize

Difficult to understand

It is just too difficult to make it longer.

Poetry feels easy

because

I don’t need to say too much.

I don’t need to explain.

It doesn’t need to be long.

Writing anything other than it

feels too much,

At least

For someone as lazy as me.

It is easy to write this small, and

Saying so much.

It would be…

Difficult to write what I mean

Exactly what I meant.
