Diary of an average author

Poetry

Because of my most popular book, lines and rhymes, I've been getting many poetry book requests. People asking me to kindly check out my book and let me know what you think about it in the comments.

I don't mind. The works are awesome. But sometimes when I read one of the heart broken pieces, I can't help wonder...

Sometimes, the poets squeeze all the pain out of their hearts and morph it into words on a paper. Then they give than pain to us for reading. Sometimes even request. Then all they get in comments on that pain is

"It's beautiful"

No. It isn't beautiful... it hurts.

Or sometimes it's;

"I wish I could write like you."

No. You don't wanna write like this....

And then sometimes it's;

"I love you're works!!"

Well... I wish the one they are directed at did too.

And as poets write the little "Thank you! I'm glad you like it" they smile to them selves. Thinking,

.....At least someone likes it. Even though it hurts me so bad....

Then comes a comment ;

"Relatable"

And they cant help but feel sorry for the person who can relate to this pain morphed into words. They want to ask them if they are going through the same crap the poets are. But then, they don't. And simply reply;
