Is it because, basically, no-one wants to be with some-one who is miserable!?(So what outlet do they have)!?

When you greet some-one and say How Do You Do!? or How are you!? or Hi, How ya doin'!?!.!.!.!.!.!.we don't really want to know if the person is fed up to the back-teeth!.

I personally don't (usually) write poetry when I'm unhappy!.!.!.when I was very unhappy (as a young person) I never wrote any poetry at all!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know and they end up writing these sad, bland, depressing poems and then want readers to critique them!. They're usually long, drawn out, awful stream of consciousness blatherings!. They're from teenagers going thru all kinds of hormonal changes, so I cut them some slack and don't answer!. But it would be nice to read something positive, powerful and uplifting for a change!.
