Rhymeraphobia Poem by Francis Duggan

I suffer of rhymeraphobia a fear that all rhymers are better than me
In the words of the average rhymer the words of a poet I do see
Suppose that comes from writing for decades without any success for to show
And that's what happens when you are addictive with your self esteem very low
For years I've been an addictive rhymer that's how rhymeraphobia set in
Suppose that's what happens after years of rhyming if you never do have a win
You feel that you will never make it but to quit would be for to lose face
And that's why I carry on writing and for my worth as a writer try to build a case
I've never been published in a big way one might call me a stranger to fame
But there are many so many like me who carry on writing just the same
Not every writer can become famous or from writing become a millionaire
In fact the very successful writers to say the least do seem quite rare
I suffer of rhymeraphobia I fear all other rhymers write better than me
But for as long as I can I'll keep rhyming for however long that may be.
