I've decided that I must have been either a weird teenager or a happy teenager. I didn't write poetry. From what I understand, that's what teens do. They write angsty poetry. And then they look back on it later in life and think "wow, this is really bad. Could I have been more melodramatic?" I was melodramatic, for sure, but not in verse form. What about you, my darling readers? Did you write angsty poetry as a teen? (Or non-angsty stuff that embarrasses you now?)

Nope, no poetry here. I could be a bit moody, but I "lost" myself in music, comic books and Stephen King novels.
I always thought poetry was dumb. However, I have hundreds of passed notes with my friends, mainly revolving around other people and prom, which were NOT DUMB.:)
Oh yeah, I wrote angsty poetry in high school. And college. Even some in grad school. Not all of it was terrible--but, yes, a good portion was.
