I have the talent to write good poetry but it feels like a fucking parlour trick. No one gives a shit about poetry and rightly so since people (including me) just use it for self-expression because that's all it's good for. Even if you were the 1 out of a billion to get famous and rich off of it, you would be no different to a tiktoker or a youtuber. Why the fuck is my only talent poetry? It scarcely translates to writing fiction and essays.
I guess what I am asking for is someone to change my mind.
