Why do I always seem to hear sad and depressing poems on forums? Its come to a point where I question their actual value. I'm not saying that these poems have no meaning, because I'm sure that they mean something to you, but they've become so cliche. Sorry if this offends anyone.
Well, think of it this way: Would you rather read a happy poem about some asshole in love or something? I wouldn't. Screw love, man. There's little emotion in most happy poetry (other than happiness, which I can't let myself believe really exists). Poetry is a very personal thing. It's raw, uncensored, unconditional emotion. It comes from a split second in your soul and makes its way to the paper. It may not be something that you believe in, or even something that you feel for more than a second, but it's a valid emotion and poetry is a great outlet.
You won't see my poetry up here (or anywhere else) for that reason... it's very raw and would scare, offend, and probably hurt you all. It's already gotten me into enough trouble with the people I love. So no more sharing for me. My poetry stays in the depths of my hard drive, thus you don't ever have to read my dark, cliched words. I admire those who can share their words with the world, no matter how dark or depressing. It takes a lot of balls to show the world such a privately creative side of your mind, whether the poem is personal to you or not.
Life sucks. Love sucks even more. Happiness sucks as much as love because those two bastards usually go hand in hand. Hope is the biggest sucker of them all. Welcome to human existance. Sorry if it's become cliche, but that's life, and it's gotten to the point where I question the value of life everyday.
And no, I'm not offended. :P It takes way more than that to offend me.[/b]
