I'm a senior in high school and I've been writing poetry all my life. It is my fuse when I need to let out the rotting bottled feelings that have been allowed to fester far too long. And it helps...more so than talking to friends and people, I have found, mainly because I don't like to tell my life story because I don't want to come across as feeling sorry for myself. I don't talk about my problems...and that may be a bad thing...but I write them out on the keyboard, a piece of paper, a napkin...even my own skin if there's nothing else handy!


Poetry+Music= MY DRUG
(I don't do the whole rock out hardcore or be pimp rap thing, 'kay? I listen to weird stuff...)


IMPORTANT!!!! Before you read anything:

Okay...I would really like to get one critical point across to my readers that I'm tired of being criticized for:
Many of my poems are extremely mental and symbolic and not at all put into literal meaning. The point I have in using such extreme (maybe slightly confusing) symbolism is so that the reader is able to make sense of the poem to themselves. That's the art of poetry, to read DEEPER than just what you see in words, to paint a picture in your head of how YOU make sense of the poem, to read into the objects of the poem and what they could stand for.
I've come across many many readers complaining that they can't understand the poem which,to me, shows they expect everything to be put there for them. Some poems are written that way, but a lot of poetry is how the reader deciphers all the symbols and metaphors to collect their own personal meaning out of the poem itself. So please PLEASE DO NOT write me a comment on a poem saying it's too hard to understand or that it's not a good poem because there's so sense to it...if you don't know how to read poetry, then don't read it.

Thank you.









I like dark and tragic poetry with maybe a little love and passion thrown in. All types of writing is okay but I prefer end line rhyme and/or a poem with rhythm. And without rhythm (yes, r-h-y-t-h-m) it doesn't sound much like a poem, just a story written in fancy line.
I don't take a liking to profound cuss word use unless it is strategically placed otherwise it sounds overly juvenile and very VERY unintelligent and I will cease to read said poem. I do have appreciation for those who take the time to use appropriate capitalization AND SPELLING, however I suppose they are not my biggest "pet-peeves".

-to get at least one of my poems on the "most popular" list.

-to get to 200 poems and beat my per-year record of 137 [X] XD

-to have as many comments as possible!! Right now maybe up to at least 15-20 for one poem...hence the 'most popular' thing.
