Why is it so hard to write poetry when I'm happy? 
When I'm content?
When I'm gloriously in love?

Is it a requirement that I be in rage, in sorrow, in pain?
Drunk? High? Comatose? 

Can I just not find the right words to describe my feelings? 
Or maybe I don't need this outlet when I'm happy. I don't need to cut my emotions from my chest and attach them to words. I want my emotions here with me.

Wait a second... I thought I was on latest TOP FRONT PAGE!!! WoOTy FUcKiNg DOOO! Congrats, and with out a title to catch any ones eye. You have bin stamped with the stamp of the elite, what could be next? Selected, daily poem, who knows but the future or maybe you do if you want to spend some fucking money. (sorry I liked this poem first but I can't break tradition but I can ton it down, just be happy you weren't the people I commented on when I first realized no one comments on poems here and that I have free rain to get drunk with power)

Almost 143 views and now one has any thing to say in the comments and 8 people pressed the like button, I normally post on tops and then never check on them but I just wanted to see. I know it might not be as big of a deal but I bet if every one only knew some one read their poem by the comments allot more people would be talking to each other. I hear it gets better when you make friends but it 100% is a popularity contest also just like people say but it is also against your self. I don't really give a fuck if people comment on my shit but I would like to talk to people and get fired up, or inspiration and thing but even more is I want other poets to know they are doing some thing right... or wrong criticism doesn't have to be a bad thing and people also don't like when you blow smoke up their ass. I just think allot more people are thinking about taking then giving but if you think the other way around then people who are getting that attention will want to help others too and it will spread but even if not if you believe in some thing then do it and don't wait for some one els to do it because change starts with us and no one els.
