They’re worth shit
I don't write shit
I just can’t just sit
And pretend
I have a hit
When in reality
It is just a bit
Of scrap or spit
I happen to knit
A post I submit
Which is not legit
I'm a hypocrite
I finally admit
So don’t transmit
My counterfeits
Tear them to bits
They’re worth shit
I just can’t just sit
And pretend
I have a hit
When in reality
It is just a bit
Of scrap or spit
I happen to knit
A post I submit
Which is not legit
I'm a hypocrite
I finally admit
So don’t transmit
My counterfeits
Tear them to bits
They’re worth shit

Very good Sam, very bad Sam.
Good, authentic poetry and bad wrong thoughts.
A poet like you is a rare pearl.......God bless

Sam your writing is not shit! Absolutely not.
But I get in that headspace and it can really bring you down
A big hug for you.

Dear S,
I really appreciated this poem and its universal relatability when in doubt over the merits of writing. Poetry especially as it’s so personal. Much obliged to you for covering my own self worth on this very topic. H🌷

I think poets are often troubled and struggle with self doubt, self worth and feel misunderstood.
I can feel your words here deeply.

I hope you do not struggle with self doubt, but thank you for your comment. I appreciate it

If you can't be your number #1 fan then who else is supposed to be? Confidence not cockiness... well.. maybe a little of both.
