List: Old Poetry

I don't remove my old poems from the site, because they're so much a part of me, showcasing my growth and self discovery through my teenage years. Many are very confused and dark, and seem strange to look back on, but the darkness is still a part of me (perhaps I just don't court it as often anymore).

2007 is the year I really started focusing on improving my poetry, so this stuff is from 2004-2006.

Being old isn't necessarily bad; in my opinion, many of my best ideas occurred in my teenage years. So here they are: 71 examples of teenage angst and originality, placed in tidy list form.
