Writing these words

Small versions of a bigger story

The structure a mess

What is the point?

I sit trying to express

But I’m constrained by the limitations

Ways that tell me what poetry is and what it is not

What is the point?

Struggling to find myself in the myriad of comparisons

Setting my focus instead not on what I want to convey

But by trying to fit into their boxes

What is the point?

You tell me.
