I make it look like this is all a big game
Like I could take or leave it all the same
*
It's just words, expressions, and structure
Formatting, cadence, my addition to culture
*
However, its more than just clever wordplay
It's more than just fiery linguistic affray
*
For me, even in jest, this is very serious
I work hard and drive myself delirious
*
Trying to pick the right words to flow and roll
Trying to be the best me, often takes its toll
*
Thanks for reading!

Good work.
Oh yeah, I feel this one. You pretty much have me pegged.
We all love this writing sctick, we grumble and complain, yet we keep going. It's in our blood. Can't deny it. Life is what it is, everything is a crap shoot.
I feel ya buddy but it’s so true 😊
Relatable, for sure. Well done.
Oh great poem! And so relatable 🤣.. I love the line "Formatting, cadence, my addition to culture" and how you linked it to the line just before
I can totally relate to this, Paul! Great job!
Oh, I love and feel this one! "It's more than just fiery linguistic affray," great line 🔥
