I personally think that "emo" is a terrible way of describing poetry. I mean sure, it's death.. it's slitting, who cares? It's poetry. I can only write like that when I'm ina specific mood. People think they can write "emo" poetry when ever they want. But that's not true. It jsut comes out cheesey and lame. Poetry is form the soul, not the head, or the heart.. THE SOUL. Believe me, I wrote deep becasue I felt deep, not because I want to.
Open up in your poetry, let it all out.
