you want crappy, self-indulgent poetry? you got it.

[East Coast Hustle]

Belltown Psalm

It's hard to quantify - a vague appeal
A cold comfort wrapped in glass and steel
I know I'm not the one
I know all the damage has been done
I drink to the City and her streets
A cool pillow that she offers me for sleep
I know it's not the way
I know I'm a different man today

Take me home
Let me go
And lay my face up to the rain
My song, my familiar refrain...

It's hard to know what fascinates me more
The steady drum or the pounding on my floor
I know I'm not the one
I know all the damage has been done
It's been weeks and weak is how I feel
And so hungry when there's nothing left to steal
I know it's not the way
I know I'm a different man today

Take me home
Let me go
And lay my face up to the rain
My song, my familiar refrain...

I'm inspired
I'm on fire....

A guide to Emo Poetry, by Cojax


Hi, are you dark? Are you evil? Are you original even though thousands of people do what you do? Then you must write depressing poetry.
Rule number one is to ALWAYS use recycled bits from your favorite punk or rock bands, because Linkin Park and Good Charolette are the most inspired songwriters alive.

You,Äôre always going to want to add in something about bleeding, because ALL depressed people cut themselves, otherwise they,Äôre posers. Also, since dressing punk makes your Everyday problems like your mom making you clean your room more important than other peoples problems, you should definitely add in a variant of ,ÄúWounds that cannot heal,Äô somewhere in there. Definitely do that.

And make sure to talk like you do on aim, because depressed people use abbreviations for EVERYTHING. Make sure to use NO meter, verse, or any form of poetry known to man, because it makes you original and a good writer.

God not existing should play a BIG part of EVERYTHING in your poetry, because if something inconvenient happens, it,Äôs automatically due to there not being ANY sort of deity but your pagan ones, right?

Using the following methods, your poetry should look like this:

Cutting, bleeding, burning, smoking
Y dont u luv me guy
These wunds wont heal
Push away
God don,Äôt love me
Paganism my only choice


Note: This is purely satire. Do not take me seriously, but then again do.
Emo,Äôs adhere to these shitty rules of poetry that makes for poetry like Fox makes for movies. Plotholes, bullshit, and facades

[agent compassion]

ALL poetry is self-indulgent, so you have to score it on a visceral/visual level instead. Turd, for a guy who supposedly hates poetry, you're pretty darn good at it.

[East Coast Hustle]

I never said I hated poetry, I said I hated shitty poetry...the fact that 99.99999% of all poetry is shitty is not my fault...



edit: didn't mean to be rude, AgComp...thanks for the compliment.

All well and good, except for one point...
GOOD CHARLOTTE IS NOT A PUNK BAND.
This is important.  They are pop.  Hardcore, whiney ass pop.
You want modern punk, you'll have some trouble finding it, but look to Anti-Flag or something.

Anti-Flag are a bunch of uneducated dipshits from the suburbs of Pittsburgh who steal all of their high-minded ideas from NPR and Mother Jones Magazine. However, they still PWN Good Charlotte, who have gotten one of their songs on the latest installment of "Now that's what I call Music!"

Shadows Fall is the shit.
