I am a 20-something recovering Pisces rising from New York City (my ascendent is in Pisces, not my sun sign, difference). I just started writing poetry, inspired by the people I've met online.

I've been through the whole broken heart/suicidal thing a few years ago. To all those reading this thinking they won't make it through, learn to love yourself first and foremost, money and popularity can only satisfy you but for so long.

For a while I disallowed anonymous reviews, but now that's been changed.
For those of you on a Macintosh who can't get good formatting, paste your poem into your favorite word processor and save it as an "MS-DOS text document." When they ask you to remove formatting, choose, "Yes." The FictionPress people, helpful as they are, were not very specific on this topic it seems.

NOTE: I don't write songs and then post them for free. I'm not sure whether or not people reject other people's poems because they don't sound like something you can strum yer geetar to.
