WRITING

Undated.

“Once you compromise what you write, you are a number one candidate for mediocrity.” - BILOXI BLUES

when i try to write
my poems on compromises,
i find it hard to get the words
to express myself.

i want the composition perfect.
i want it good.
i want it to be an attention-getter.
but, ahh...
everytime i write that way,
i end up with sloppy ones.

but when i tend to
write freely,
i get good poems,
good compositions.
and so i ask myself...
why is that so?

maybe, i am
really not just
a born writer.
