by Samantha Lowe - Scorpio

some people 'round here 
think that others' work on here are on
too much 'teen angst'
'teen suicide'
'teen love'
others feel some work on here
are too...
'inconsequential'
'young'
'drab'
maybe even 'inferior'
if there was a way poetry could be so
but what i want to know
what does it matter?
when has it mattered?
cyberpages poetry
became a place
where young, old
experienced, inexperienced
can write what they feel
and yes, be judged for what they write
because that's what makes us better as poets
to be criticized
but it also allows us to let out what we can't say in person
what we can't tell the people who care about us
and
in most cases
it releases what we've been hiding from ourselves
releases everything and anything
and it lets us be ourselves
without people telling us
we have too much
'teen angst'
'teen love'
'teen suicide'
brimming from what we write.
