i always want to write what i feel and think of the instant am facing the computer...but i can almost write better when i am feeling down and depressed it seems like the juice flows more then...but it is also nice to write happy thoughts...about love..friendship..family..relationships..etc...whenever i write something and look back to it..i am just amazed that i was able to write it and feel the kind of emotions mirrored on the article...or poem itself..sometimes i tend to forget about a certain instance..a certain part of my life which seem strange to me after sometime...but writing a poem..even an article about what you currently feel is something that will give you the evidence of that portion of your life..your certain moment...

It is true that poems seem to flow better when one is depressed. That must be because a poem is a play of emotions. When you are happy you have so much energy that the mind involves in more energetic physical activities, but when you are depressed you feel weak, as if stripped of all your physical strength.Moreover, when your are sad you feel lonely and crave for an outlet to express your innermost feelings, which materialise into beautiful poems.

some of my poems also have reflected what i've felt at certain times. i'm the type of person who tends to bottle up all their feelings and then one day everything just explodes and i go all mental on everyone...so my poems tends to be about how i feel at certain time frames of my life...quite a few of my poems were written during my 7th and 8th grade in middle school and since school was horrible during that time for me, always being picked on...my poems from them are saddness and despair...also, i also have a few 'bout relationships and love, altough i've never been in a relationship i've written a few love poems...i'm not sure if they could be considered good or not since i've never experienced a relationship of the sort with anyone yet...and other times i just write whatever comes to mind...one last i think i write better at night...that's usually when i write my poems anyway...more quieter and peaceful...
