Joshua answered Thursday December 11 2003, 10:31 pm: I'm sure your poetry is fine. Do you think that because of everyone having liked your poetry that you began identifying your self-worth by your poetry? If so, you should take a step back and look at all the good things that you have to offer the world. Poetry is only one facet of your many gifts and abilities.
Secondly, you need to look at whether the reson you write poetry is for self-satisfaction or only for recieving praise and attention from friends. If you enjoy it, write. Just like different people like different books, different music, and different foods, people can react differently to your poetry. As long as you enjoy it and you think it's good, then it probably is.
And, if you want some more outside opinions on your work, may I suggest <a href="[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) You can setup an account and post your poetry for others to read, vote on, and give you tips.

Its ok to feel like that..But she is probably doin it b/c she was jealous when u had the spotlight..to help ur cituation, just find something else that you cand do better then your freinds, or just dont compete w/ them at all.

Write your poetry your way and when you're famous someday you can ignore her when she come begging at your feet. [ Turc's advice column | Ask Turc A Question ]

Well your friend is doing this because she admires your work, but the way she asked if the other girl was taking "her" place was VERY rude. She should have reminded her that she took your place. Just dont keep your focuse on her. Keep it on your work and you'll be fign.
