The Word Just

I just hate the word “just”

That I just so stubbornly say

To just belittle my words

Just before I send them away

To ride just before a thin line

That I just dare not cross

It’s just that I hate it when

I just say the word just

I am a man of words, and preferably those words left unspoken. I am a writer.

  Exactly! You understand what I’m saying. I say it often, and then realize the statement would be stronger without it, and then regret I said it
