PROMPT: All about words
I stopped writing
Because I wanted
To write like them
They were better
Smarter, more clever
And it hurt me
That I wrote like this
Small thoughts
So simplistic
Like a dog
Pissing on hydrants
Here I am
I have words
That mean little
That change nothing
So I stopped writing
Because words
Were all I had
HASTYWORDS 
Don’t stop! One perfect word is better than a thousand ok words.

Don’t compare to anybody else but yourself, because, if you keep on, comparing yourself to others, you will, always feel, like you’re not, good enough, when, being your self, is, the only thing you can, ask of, you.

It’s one of those truths I know yet seems impossible to abide by. Though I try.

Once formed, writing is a hard habit to break for long.

Really loved This, My Dear!! When you write it seems the general advice is to write for yourself and no one else – it’s your voice! Writing is a bit like art that way. If you use your words to paint or portray feelings, emotions, happy, sad, hearbreak and the beauty of nature then that should be enough if you are happy with what you write before comparing it to other – don’t do that! You are you!
There is a wonderful book I love that you may too – https://www.amazon.com/Poemcrazy-Freeing-Your-Life-Words/dp/0609800981/ref=sr_1_5?crid=4LJ8R42QB1I0&keywords=poem+crazy+freeing+your+life+with+words&qid=1667923755&sprefix=%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-5
It’s a tremendous help for me. 😊💕🌹

I do the same thing. But then I try to remember I’m not supposed to be like them. I’m supposed to write like me… Nobody else. And you’re supposed to write like you. The world needs your voice. That’s why you’re here!🌺🌹🌺
