Description
Teen angst has sullied, poisoned poetry:Th’ affected woes of countless imbeciles
Have made insiped past profundities
And rendered weighty musings trite and dull.
Such travesty proliferates today,
Fueled by self-pitying, deluded folk
Who groan, who cry, “The world turns not my way!
Alas! I am enslaved by life’s cruel yoke!”
As such, when those who truly are oppressed
Attempt to pen what in their minds are caught,
Their jaded readers overlook distress,
Forsaking writers, trapped with tortured thoughts.
…I helped in rearing empathy’s decay,
And thus renounce my previ’us, petty ways.

I completely agree. Finally another poet who, when writing something without perfect rhythm, sticks it immediately into "open". In fact, you inspired me to write a sonnet to the teeny angsty Poet Wannabe who won't go learn the ways of doing it. I may add it to my gallery soon:
It’s not that I’m a laureate or great,
But can’t you see that every art has rules?
So when you study and acquire the tools
Of rhythm, rhyme and form, you will not grate
Your foolish babble over us; your mate
Will say how great you are, but petty fools
Don’t know but nonsense they’ve been taught at schools –
And all you ever do is ramble ‘hate!’…
Get back in shape, construct a worthy piece
That follows aim, that has a purpose too:
Your ‘teeny angst’ that day will, too, decease;
One day we’ll have anthologies of you.
And while we’re at it, please learn how to spell;
The time now being – your English is all hell.

Wow, baby, we need more poets like you here on dA. Heh, I completely agree with your sonnet. You wouldn't believe how much questionable poetry I've sifted through ("life is unfair" banalities).. Your style is excellent and hope to see more sonnets from you..
Cheers
