<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

We have known eachother for about a year. We met at a program for mentally ill adults. We are both mentally deficient but two of the more higher functioning members of the group. This is important. Every week, a local poet comes in and works with us to express ourselves through writing. Sometimes he takes us to slams and readings. Well, my friend, Todd, likes to perform at these things. His poetry is shit. Here's an example of something he might write:

I like pie

Pie is good

Actually it is great

But it's not healthy!

It sucks. I feel like he is embarrassing himself when he performs that mess. He will never improve if no one tells him he can't write. I don't want to hurt his feelings and like I said, he is high functioning and capable of better things. I went to a slam awhile back and a ten year old girl had better poetry than him.
<bot>: My friend writes terrible poetry and performs it. I don't want him to be mocked, should I tell him he sucks?
