poems being private

ehhh

you posted your poems on the internet and now are complaining about privacy. For some reason that doesn't seem to go hand in hand. You obviously like non-private thing because you like the votes. You're just mad because you got voted lower. Maybe we could just put up a sign that reads: For those who want privacy, Click this button to fend off people who don't like your poetry.
That would be a great way to boost your rating (and ego). If you want privacy, write in a notebook, keep the notebook under your bed.

.... why are you so worried about your ratings and what other people think of your poetry?

Personally, I kinda put my poems on here to let people see what I feel. If they don't like the poems I write or how there written then so be it. It's not really for them at all.. It's kinda for me. I try my hardest on my poems, no doubt, but yeah. Don't complain. If you like your poems and think they're worth posting then think that. Gah.
