Poems were mainly written during school, the majority of these are depressing, sad, or angry. However, as Roger Ebert once said, "Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you." So if you struggle with dark thoughts or emotions why not write about them? Face them, and have something come out of it. That being said, most of the Poems, in the beginning, have bad structure and aren't beautiful, but they get better towards the end.
