Atlass, as with all art, it really only takes one piece. I will not defend most of my work. But depending on individual piece, I have many out of the thousands I have written, I will defend tooth and nail. Keep writing. What matters are not the eggs you lay or the bad ones you write, but that you just do. Do it enough there will be individual works enough people will like.
Outside poetry, could you work on not assuming everyone in the west wants to lynch you for living where you live?
I have a friend named Mustafa from Pakistan, he is fucking awesome. He hates Trump and Bibi as much as I do. Now while he does not write poetry, he does get that all 7 billion of us are the same species and is willing to treat individuals as individuals.
If you like writing poetry, just do it. I love writing poetry, and even on this website, my fellow atheists have had a few words for me. Don't take it personally. Just be you.
"In My Life" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on Twitter)
In my life
I have been overseas
To Luxembourg, France
And Switzerland
In my life
I have been all over
The United states, from Florida
To Arizona and California
In my life
I have been
To Japan , Tijuana
And inbetween
Been to New York
Been to Michigan
Been to Alabama
And the same thing I've seen
The most frustrating thing
No matter our differences
We fail to see
We still are the same species
Simply eating
Different food
Simply wearing
Different cloths
But all of us wanting
To survive
None of us wishing
To die
