there are no bad poems.
there are only readers
who are at that moment
distracted, grumpy, angry,
or in some other way
closed to the message.

for every poem that i wrote
there are seven poems
i did not write
because
i was afraid of taking it too far
or i was unable to find the words.

and, in my megalomania,
i feel guilt
that i am too weak
to enlighten you with the truth,
but only way forward
is not to quit
but to keep writing safe and easy poems
like this one.

great writers
are not good at writing.
they are only good
at writing in one very specific way.
and there are gazillion ways
we can write.

i remember
how long long time ago
i would go out,
have a nice dinner,
get a bit tipsy,
listen to some cool music
on my way home,
and write a poem
as soon as i got back.
i just do not do that anymore.

using complex words
and inventing new words
is often a way
to lie to others
and yourself.

go back to the source:
use simple words
and you will be more honest.

so many people
give up on saying what they think
because for them finding pretty words is too hard.

they are shamed
for being emotional and inarticulate
into being a voiceless.

this is one of the biggest tragedies
because their thoughts are not heard
by their family and friends.

we should work harder
on helping people to express themselves
in any way and style they can.
