You put your hard work of thoughts out to a world unkind just to laugh at you making you feel like a fool that is taking a risk.  You do your best not to write like the others if you do you will get poetry dilemma, to weep is to risk appearing sentimental or wimpy in the judge's eyes. You work hard to share your feelings with the poetic world just for what? to get beaten down to make like a clown of words of being judge of your own lifestyle, you write poetry dilemma to reach out for others is to take risk-taking the risk is something we all must face even in the eyes of the hat to expose feelings of the past the be rejected like a fool to place your poetic dreams in a crowd is to take risks to ridicule poetry dilemma. To live and to love is a risk of its own but to write your feelings down is the risk of all just to have someone return your words and call you names that is my poetic dilemma for others to forward your words in haters eye and make you feel ashamed just because they want what is yours so they overwhelm you as a failure, then you see they copy your own words and say itis theirs that is a risk and it hurts but risks must be taken. Because the risk is the way of life
the person who risks nothing has nothing this is my poetic dilemma I will never give up.
