‘Im new to poetry’
I say as i read my poems from 2 years ago
When will i stop feeling new
Like my poems are nothing but an illusion of hard work
When i write a poem and post it immediately after
With no double check
Just so i dont overthink it

When will i finally believe i know what im writing
When will i believe in myself
In my metaphors
My similes
My work

I'm not new to poetry
But if you ask
I will say i am
