I used to write a lot of poetry. If I could find all my old notebooks I could get a detailed view of how it's evolved over the years. When I started writing I had a lot of anger and hatred coming out of my words, slowly it evolved to less anger, and some easier emotions.

Now, I write about my struggle with drugs(mainly heroin), my use(shown in a positive light), and the most emotional shit to me right now, which is getting over and still having to deal with the ex-girlfriend, who is now regretting her decision to break up with, and cheat on me during my jail sentence.

I think what I may do is type up all of the poems I have in the notebooks I have stashed away, and also take some of the shit I've written online, and try to list it all in chronological order. Just to give an idea of how my writing has evolved.

Over the past 7 years(from age 17 to January) I didn't write as much as I used to. Because everything I wrote would eventually end up getting read by my girlfriend. Most of my work wasn't about her, but because of the dark tones and subject matter, she always would start a fight over it. Funny thing was, I never invited her to read any of my work, so that was one of the largest breaches of trust I had with her(aside from her sleeping with other people). I hope that now, since I don't have to worry about someone taking my subject matter too personally, I will end up writing a lot more. You'll just have to deal with 7 years of pent up aggression towards my ex for a little while, eventually I will get back to writing less personal stuff, and probably get back to something that is more general and understandable. That will probably be about substance abuse, though, because that is something that is close to me, and something I've devoted a lot of my time to over the years, so it's the most easily accessible subject I can write about.

There will be some random love/hate poems about certain people, shit dealing with my family(I have a few pieces about my relationship with my father, and his family), but that's what I think the general idea of my new work will be.

As I write new stuff, it'll be posted here. If it's in my notebook, I write shit in the margins and I'll usually let everyone know what I think the most important note was in there(in the case of this piece, it was that I didn't think it was very good)
