In Old Poetry

I know it was about death but I wouldn't consider it "emo" but it was really really heartbreaking and kind of hard to read. I read it last night and it kept me wondering what happened so I guess that what makes it hard. But I'm trying to see past my personal reservations...so yeah, it was slightly boring but really solemn and thoughtful. I really like it but I just can't stop thinking...

The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
