I'm a useless depressed teenager
desperately trying to convey my emotions
in a short poem
which would require far less effort
than a long one
and would be heard by more people
than my words

You're a teenager and a writer? Then you are blessed, I didn't begin writing until I was 47 years old! Useless? NO! You have so much to develop and enjoy, enjoy it! It's a blessing.......a blessing!

It's the depression that's useless not you. Writing I feel, should at least at first, be for you. Eventually you will accept what you see and then others. It can be very rewarding. I'm new to it myself and wish to God I'd have started as a teenager. Write on!

I agree with every reply above.

Do write on
short or long
doesn't matter at all
We will read them anyway
and I'm sure we will enjoy

great piece, not useless by any means, but likely true, especially with publishers, I think...

but this fast-paced world
wants microwave poetry

and now I think I have a theme for my next one
