I don't know how to write poetry.

I am no good at this stuff.

My poetry's mediocrity,

My rhyming is a bluff.

I don't know how to write poetry.

This just isn't my thing.

My poems have no symmetry,

I'd be better off trying to sing,

I don't know how to write poetry.

Sometimes I share too much heart.

My poems come out all cheesy.

And I never know where to start.

I don't know how to write poetry.

It's like sharing a journal page.

It feels like too much honesty.

You see my heartbreak, joy and rage.

I don't know how to write poetry.

My words aren't pretty enough.

It all sounds just a little too choppy.

Never smooth, always too rough.
