I was just introduce to the blog and Ocean Vuong for the first time! His poetry is really fresh to me and so vulnerable

Watching Glades Green, Grazing Deer Knowing Love

Dear Sophie, I am sad. I have realised that I am not a good poet and it has broken my heart. In December I decided to start writing and sharing my poetry with the world, and promote my work and spend hours messaging people trying to get them to like and follow me and subscribe but nobody does. Should I give up for good? Nobody likes me or my work 😢 it’s not fair. Why won’t people make me popular?

Must this be a dream?

My heart really really wants to try and self-publish my poetry... but I'm scared I won't be taken seriously, and it all feels so overwhelming. What do I do? My heart wants it so bad, but my head is telling me it isnt worth it

Should I use poetry to convince a girl to go out with me? I'm scared of spending the time and effort and being rejected... what do I do?
