i am a plagiarist
by Lauren Singereverything i have ever thought
has already been said more effectively,
written down with more poise,
and articulated more soundly,
than anything
i could ever muster.
what life is there for mediocre writers? 07/06/2007 Posted on 07/06/2007

I'm sure every poet has thought this of themselves, and yet we continue to find small miracles amid the lines. :o) |
