"You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit."

-Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

part of making poetry is making bad poetry. and i don’t mean that you can’t write, of course you can, you know you can (you’ve seen it), but great poets are not always great poets. often there are terrible poems - for one reason or another it’s just not there. maybe it doesn’t convey what you need it to or maybe it’s not strong or maybe when you re-read it you just hate it.

this is all part of being a poet. of being any writer, honestly, but especially poets. you have to be okay with writing poems that don’t fit your own criteria, you have to be okay with writing poems that ultimately lead to nowhere. you have to be okay with writing absolute shit because sometimes through all that shit you’ll get some good shit. 

writing poetry is all about writing shitty poetry, too.

and don’t let the fear of writing badly stop you from writing. writing badly is better than not writing. writing a bad poem is still creating poetry.

so go out there and write all the bad poems you need to.

You are not your own person , really you are not. You are the laughter of your mother . The anger of your father. You are the warmth of your best friend and the kindness of the last book you read. You are pages of torn history , you are the music you sway to and beauty of stars on a clear night . You are the clouds on a rainy day and you are the clear skies on the sunny day. You are fragments of everything and everyone in your life regardless of where they are now. You are not you own person — but the whole universe.
