hi Yiz.
i find that most of my stuff is either funny or tries to be. i think we all do depressing stuff now and again but in general i'm a happy writing poetaster.
when you say depressing, do you mean depressing about self? if so, i'd suggest writing about anything but self. i find i lie a lot in when i write, though i do have a smidgen of truth in my stuff. write about anything; write about depressing stuff and make it funny.
write about an apple, a pig, we have a few here
[joking]. travel has lots of scope. write a few short happy poems; just 4 or 5 liners. unless it's a really great poem, stay away from emo and cutting stuff. nature can be a good topic but in general you can write light or happy about everything, even death.
anyway, welcome to the site.

My first entree on here i guess.
Anyway, i've been noticing that a lot (and when i say a lot, i mean all) of my material is rather, well, depressing.
Was wondering if this is a prominent issue with others and how i could maybe try and find inspiration from other things or what subjects would be less depressing to write about and how i would start writing less sad stuff.
Cheers xx
