What's even the point of writing if ChatGPT can do it better and faster? This is one of the most discouraging thoughts that has plagued my mind...and that of other authors and storytellers alike.
Nevertheless, writing - including poetry - has been a therapy for me since childhood. I truly hope there will be a purpose to writing for all future generations, because humanity will always be touched with emotion in ways AI software programs and robots can only simulate.
After a rather long break from Wattpad and writing in general, I have returned to present several poems I have written throughout my life. My goal is to update this periodically, and hopefully with the occasional life update and greeting.
I know my poems aren't perfect. They reflect my terrible English vocabulary and limited understanding of poetic devices.
The funny thing is that I'm also really, really proud I wrote them. I think it's amazing that my poems deviate from traditional, predictable rhyming patterns. It's amazing that they're imperfect and written by a simple human, rather than a computer output from a lazy ChatGPT prompt.
I hope you, as a human (?) reader, can appreciate all of this...and enjoy the poems that came from my heart. (Take that, ChatGPT!)
And with that...goodbye, random person on the internet I likely will never meet...hope you have an awesome day. Everything's going to be alright.
