I'll never ever tell a poet they can't write about any subject matter and it's stupid. I will tell you that there is more to poetry then dark emotions. Especially when nothing makes this one stand out, it's just kind of bland. If you choose to write "emo" poems, do it with vivid details and descriotive words, so it's different. Don't make it sound like everything else.

I'm just concentrated on her reputation on here.
She did this for venting but posted it as a poem that has been done a million times before...I don't want her turned away from GSB because she posted venting in a forum.

Me getting criticized for what you call "emo" poems ...
[-shudders-
I hate that word.]
... isn't anything new for me, I assure you.
I didn't post this as venting.
This poem is from October of 2005.
It's just a poem I'm proud of and wanted to post.
I assure you I won't turn away from GSB simply because of this.
I've dealt with worse on lots of other forums.

wow, you're a lot stronger than most people on here
I'm glad you took what I said as possible as advice as opposed to something I'm telling you to do
you are allowed to make you're own decisions, no strings attached, I just hope you take what I said into consideration
other than that, I admire your strength (I'm not saying "emo" in a negative way, you just write with emo style, sorry if you don't want to

I've learned to attack only on people who make no sense. Like 'omg that suckz so bad quit riting and dye'.
It just doesn't seem to have anything genuine... it reads like another cutter/suicide poem. It's just bland and unoriginal.
And too whiney. It really is. I guess it could be improved, but the genre is much of a muchness, and there isn't much space to improve.
I must agree.
Suicide seems to be such a popular topic to write about.
But every suicide poem is just unoriginal and, well, unpalatable.
Try finding inspiration. I don't think suicide/cutting isn't very inspirational.
