Stop/Keep trying so hard

You know, you're no good

Stop/Keep trying to be

Clever, angry, whatever

You know, you're no good

Stop/Keep writing so much

You know, you're no good

Stop/Keep trying to be

linguistically dextrous

You know, you're no good

Stop/Keep trying, stop writing

You know, you're no good

Stop/Keep trying to be

a writer, a poet, whatever

You know, you're no good

Stop/Keep, give up/Going, no-one/Someone cares

You know, you're no good

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Not a pity party. Self-reflective. Maybe probably you can relate. The internal struggle is real at times.
