Sounds like a normal reaction to what's going on around you.

On the other hand, why are your family members dying off year after year (sounds a little exaggerated to me - is this REALLY the case?).

Write the poetry.

Submit it for publication.

Get a good set of friends. At this rate, your family isn't going to be much support to you.

Maybe find a therapist or counsellor you can talk all this over with.

To answer your question, yes, writing poetry, whether depressing or sad is actually a healthy response to dealing with traumatic issues in life. I myself had many unfortunate (bad) things happen and saw a shrink or two. They will tell you it is a good outlet to write down your thoughts and/or emotions. Some people write music or use art as their "outlet". Anyway you do it, just make sure it will not hurt yourself (physically) or anyone else and maybe seeing someone for a little bit will make you feel better. It really does not have to be a councilor, it could be an older friend.

Good Luck!

I had some horrid things happen in my life as well, especially when I was in school. I started writing 'morbid' or 'gothic' poetry as well. I was never told it was strange or that I was weird because I did so, some of it is actually published now (in magazines and a book). I chose to let my feelings out in a creative manner, instead of other options I had back then. I also drew a lot, and painted back then--just other forms of my emotions working themselves out.

So, I guess what I'm getting at is that if you're not normal then I guess I'm not either!

it sounds to me that you have experienced a lot of loss in your life and that the poetry is just an expression of that loss. People experience loss differently and to say your way of experiencing loss is wrong or right can't be done. Just know that the way you are experiencing your loss is normal for you. Keep writing the poetry no matter how sad they are. I think you will find that, in the long run, you will begin to feel better. I hope this helped

Use your intelligence to place issues in attitude once you will desire to. There are a lot of on line web sites dedicated to toddlers and the poetry they write. do exactly a yahoo seek. Years in the past I worked with highway toddlers that wrote the saddest, darkest and maximum angst-ridden poetry i've got ever considered. maximum of them are actually grown with households and are extremely happy of their lives. they have all stated at one time or yet another that their writing helped them to get in the process the troublesome situations. delight on your poetry.

You have had a tough life so your state of mind is comprehensible. You arent abnormal. many great poets have written sad poetry. you just need to get out of your melancholy though I cant suggest how. maybe you should make more friends, be socially active and keep yourself busy with the work you like doing.

Alright, when someone dies in your family you usually do think of stuff like that. So I really think you should go to counseling and try to see if that works. Hope you "feel better" and hope the counseling works! (if you go)
