Panda, I'm just not really accustomed to writing poems like that. I've tried, but its not my style. The voice is phony.

Shattered, don't stop writing!!!! Good is subjective. I did end up being able to write a poem about how lonely living in the dorms was.

dubble, you're absolutely right. I've noticed though that as a writer, I need to distance myself from some events to be able to write about them without them being too sentimental. I think that I was sad because I have a lot of past stuff to get over and a lot of the closest people in my life have abandoned me lately so I was reminded that I have few people to talk to about this stuff.
