I Can't Write

Always felt that writing derived solely from talents
No practice, you started off as the greatest
Thought I had the skill, but was a tightroper off balance
"At least I can conjugate!" Darth Vader to Darth Vadest.

An amateur job, but it's the best I can do,
Fight to impress but still underdressed
Like a punch in the throat, it offends you
To ever accept that you're not the best.

Dont tell me I'm good if I'm not
No one succeeds off of a lie
Endless devotion, I give it all that I've got
I can't write but I can damn well try.

I love how down to earth and honest this is. I feel like this describes me perfectly because perfection is a requirement from me to my parents. I hate how unreliable some people are when they're trying to be nice by telling you good job when they hate it. It's like you're being cheated.

This is a great poem! The beginning of all writing is in admitting that you can't write.
