Inspired only by sadness

Well usually writting comes from the heart and when your sad or mad or just really in to it . All that come out of you is sadness but thats fine ....if thats what is happening at the moment to you then thats what's happening ,write qbout it like you have , don't wonder why you can't write anything happy not like anything is wrong with you .. Try writting in all emotions .Maybe go out for a day with friends .. would that make you happy ? if so write about that day ..Maybe listen to a song is it is a happy one and write about it .. how it made you feel ... what was so good about it ... Anyone can write a happy poem as you call it . Read some happy poems on here and try to get inspired by that get some ideas from that .. you just need to think .it's not always going to come out at first but it will eventually . I know when I'm sad I can only write about sad things or things that make me mad .Happy poems don't come easily for me either but I try . You can do it too..... just try not to focus on the hurting and sad so much and try focusing on the good .
(sorry if I'm no help )

Uuh....WHAT THEY SAID. ^^^

Peaces.

sadness is one of lifes strongest emotions... however it is hard to cope with, our bodies don't know how to deal with emotonal problems, we either talk about it, or go through mounds of paper making poems and stories... you know? its just how the body copes. Happyness is a thing that is easily shared so we dont have to keep it in untill ot is approprate to let spill, you just let it all out. therefore when you sit down to write, theres not so much left in you to tell about. does that make sence?

I find that if i want to write happy stuff ihave to do it long after the fact... them it dosent pour our of me, i have to work for the first few stanzas. Then once i am able to apply all of my attention to it, it becomes easier.
does that help any?

I used to be the same way........... im not so much anymore though...

I know what you mean. I wrote poetry in high school, but quit after I graduated! I was in an amazing relationship happy as can be but never wrote at all! After we broke up all this poetry just came pouring out of me! It took me a few years before I was able to write happy poetry! I think I just fell into a rut and became a slave to my emotions! But not any more! Just give it time and don't give up.....Holly

congrats...ur like me i cant write wen im happy either!!!

because hurt and pain cause more emotions and you feel more compelled to write about it
