Complicated

I always overthink when I start writing. I want my work to carry emotional weight. But, it is too easy to think that being verbose actually means that your words have weight.

I read a poem by a friend of mine. The language was simple, but the message was profound. I really enjoyed it.

Sometimes you can't make things too complicated for the sake of sounding intelligent.

Though I did read the above sentence with a poetry drummer beat in my head.
