WHAT IS TEEN ANGST POETRY?
Teen angst poetry is written between the ages of 12-18 (or later) when one is depressed or hurt. It is an outlet for the most "profound" thoughts ...or so you thought at the time - those "YES! this is so what I mean!" moments. Most often teen angst poetry has horrible rhyming schemes and very obvious metaphors.
Common themes include:
I am alone,
No one understands my pain,
I will never love again,
Fuck you,
Fuck off,
Go to hell, and
Life sucks.
