It Sucks

I wannabe a writer, earning megabucks

But when I look at what I wrote I think ‘Oh Christ it sucks.’

I could do with a new angle, a large vocabulary

Some cool subject matter that’s not about me.

—

An interesting character – get inside their head

So the dialogue doesn’t clunk

And you believe what I wrote, they said.

—

A plot would be good, something fresh and intriguing

That moves along the action,

Provoking some reaction

—

I’m in complete despair

Pull something from the air

Get it down if you dare

Come on, you’re nearly there

—

It still sucks.
