Why do most of the poems here consist of depression? It's all moping, mascara, and poser goths these days. It's just a suggestion, but QUIT WALLOWING IN SELF-PITY AND WRITE SOME REAL POETRY. IT'S GETTING OLD.
Discuss.

Agreed.

Emo kids. =/

Everyone writes what they feel inside... If that's emo, then so be it.
You cant judge poetry like that... Real or not real... It's all real.
There is more to say about it, but that's the short version of it.

HAHAHAHAHA

Real poetry, moron :/

People write what hey want, you dont like it dont read. I personally write sad poems because it is easier to make people realise the little beauty there is in the world.

Others write it for other reasons. Stop complaining.

*Applaudes* Couldn't have put it better myself Doom.

I write what I guess is depressing because..well(as Eyes said) that's what I feel like writing.

Way to help yourself if you're sad, read more sad poems and write some yourself. I'm not saying all poetry is crap if it's depressing, it just gets annoying after a long time. And if you're so sad, why complain in poems? Do something about it and write poetry that will cheer you up, keep your spirits high. Because some depressing poems suck, and we don't need any more sucky poems.

Do us all a favor and just shut up. Before you make even more of a fool of yourself, just shut up.

I agree. Its like...every single poem that comes outta there is depressing. Mostly because eeryone else is disagreeing, but I do find it a tad annoying. That's why I usually stay clear of the forum. :dry: But hey, you can't make someone feel something. So...whatever.

That's it right there.
Sorry, guys (the ones who find it annoying) but you can't change it.
- Edit -
That should be:
You can't make someone feel something else
Of course you can try, but still.

Many people here have gone through periods of different feelings... They wrote about that and we could all read it... Yes, lately it has been on the sad side... But that's how life goes... Cliché, but true.

And btw, I know one or two poets who write the most amazing love poems.
For example, Aeris and Hurinami.
