Write freely? Let the words fall in place? Write with no strings attached? No.
Try writing with all your emotions attached to that one word which made you write in the first place. Read shitty poems on internet, write shitty poems on internet and re read your work. Because, who cares. Be your biggest fan. Take the compliments, take them all. It took you so much to reach here, stand your ground and take all the praise. Write what you want when you want and where you want. Fall in love and don’t try to hold it in anymore. Let yourself fall and let yourself love. Don’t be afraid to have your heart broken. It’s about time, just live.

Yes!, I also urge all to cling to the idea of me, mine, myself.😎
Just an addition, please also read poems which are more than “shitty”
Thanks for the post, though.

I often wonder why intelligent people cannot find words to use that do not describe biological functions, other than to create an air of lack of concern with what others think. Since you do not care about what your readers think of you, I will be one less reader for you.
So sad, because obviously you CAN express yourself well without devolving to grade school foul language.
