Is it normal that i only write poetry because...

I write deep, meaningful, depressing, gothic poetry, about love, bad relationships that Iv'e had, or really soppy and romantic poems about people etc. I only write poems for myself to read, I get very deffensive if others want to read my poetry. I find poetry a very personal thing.

    Me too. I write deep shit too. Stuff about love, heartache, death, life, etc. But for some reason I feel like it should be kept a secret.

    I think it's normal. For me, it's my outlet to my truer self. The side that I find difficult to show to the public. The side of me that I seldom show.

    One night my mom went into my bedroom for something, and I practically went into panic mode. I thought she had found my stash of poetry. I was freaking out! I was like, "What are you doing? What are you looking for?". I never let on why I was acting that way, but I think it seemed pretty obvious that I was hiding something.

    I'm okay with telling people that I write, but some stuff I will not show. Show what you wanna show.

    used to write short weird little stories in a journal. it was a huge release.I could be myself there and nobody could chastise me for it.

  • I write poems and stories all the time that no one has ever read. And when I did read one to my dad he thought it was disturbed.

    yeah i supose its the same as people keep their diaries to themselves because poetry can be a very personal thing and a way of letting out your emotions. its understandable why you would keep it secret

    I write a diary and I would never let someone read it.

    Geez..If you get pissed off when other people want to read it then don't tell people about it. Problem solved.
