A career in songwriting or poetry?

Is it possible to have a career in songwriting or poetry these days? I love writing and i'm not great at it but i really want to improve and its the only thing in life i've found that really interests me. I know I'm only 15 but I want to know is there any chance in a career and if so what steps should i be taking to get there? I know i'll need a back up, but poetry and songwriting means a lot to me...

Thanks for your help.

Holy moly, i feel the exact same way dear. I want to have a career in it so bad, but i feel i would go nowhere, so i have thought of alternatives, they just don't interst me as much. Just keep your head up and keep on writing, you never know how far it can take yall. Just cause you think your writing isn't as good, doesn't mean all people will feel the same way. :)

problem with journalism is that is also really hard to get into and i hate shoving my face into someone elses personal life... Thanks for your responses and im hoping one day i'll get somewhere with my writing :)

Thank you very much :)
