Why do people clog up the depression forum with POETRY topics like this?
I thought the reason for the forum was to talk about depression, to try and help people understand wats going on in thier minds not to complain about stealing poetry.

I rest my case.

i rest my case

I fail to see why I would want to steal anyone else's poems. Yours in particular.

i have bin accused of stealing poetry and it really annoyed me!! i write all my own stuff and would h8 if anyone copied mine so why would i copy anyone elses work??? that pissed me off!!! xxxx

I think it is kind of a compliment that someone would want my poems.. so much that they copy them. but on the other hand.. this is my book of feelings. They are taking advantage of my pain and saying that they wrote them themselves. If they would give me credit, or ask me first... I might consider it, but the stealing thing isn't exactly cool in my book...

i agree with you completely. Poems are sort of a personal thing, so when people steal them, they are completely taking advantage of you, are they not? I fail to see the point behind stealing other people's works.... yes. I myself have never been accused of stealing poems, though, and i dont know whether or not anyone has stolen mine, thought i would hate to hear that someone did. and, like you said, if someone would ask me or give me credit, i might not mind so much.

If poems are such a personal thing then why do people post them on the internet, where anyone can see them, and then complain about it when people copy them? :|
