I Think I’ve Lost The Poet In Me

i think i’ve lost the poet in me

stanza one

stanza two

then a useless stanza three

it doesn’t matter what i write

as long as i write it creatively

make it rhyme

make it structured right

sentimentality

i’ve lost the poet in me

•

i used to write for me and only me

i used write how i view the world

to finally say my piece

now i write to be criticised

melodramatically

i’ve lost the poet in me

•

who cares about my deepness

my darkness and grief

it only matters if i chuck in a big word

or a “woah how unique” simile

unique like a

like an

like an interpretation

of poetry

functionally

fuck

i’ve lost the poet in me

[btw it’s not how i exactly feel, i’m just in a burnout pit]
