I. Suck. At. Poetry.

I used to be so into it, like I would just come home from school and write a poem - and even write poems during school.
I was kinda 'depressed' back then so it made it easier to write poems.
I've never been in love so it is hard to write about love, and I have never cut myself or anything so I can't write about the feeling of that.
I really need inspiration right now...
I've tried to write a lot right now, but all of them come out sappy and cliche. I want it to rhyme but not sound stupid.
I want it to be equally ammount sweet as bitter.
I want it to be able to make someone cry,
and make another person laugh.

I'm expecting to much of my poetry. If I just brought down my bar of 'acceptance' maybe I would end up posting some of it up on here.

Like some days I find beautiful poetry and then I compare it to mine and it's shit. -_-

I guess I have to find some inspiration.
