Your comments sound weak,
Your voices, unheard.
Your critiques feeble,
And your intentions blurred.
Flimsy words,
Trapped on a computer screen.
Nothing’s as good as paper.

The author's comments:
I was reading some of the comments left on my favorite pieces and they just seemed so insincere, but when I tried to express my thoughts on the works, I realized that mine weren't any better. It's too hard to feel the emotions behind words when you're reading them off a computer.
