Poems (used to) Suck MAG
May 14, 2022
I used to say, “I hate writing poems.”
I thought they were too depressing to bear
Perhaps they got me down in the doldrums
Because my cruel thoughts were so unfair.
Oh, but now how I see things differently;
I can say that poetry is blissful.
Cruel thoughts turn to happy memories,
And to make more of them, I am wishful.
Now, poems are full of life and meaning.
They’re full of wonder and discovery
Instead of fresh tears and awful feelings.
Finally, I can enjoy poetry.
So, to my past self, I have a message:
Don’t give up yet, the cruel thoughts will lessen.
