Today, I wrote a poem for this guy I am falling for. Before telling him that I wrote it, he read it and then laughed at how "corny and stupid" it was because he would "never date someone who could come up with something that lame." The poem was about how vulnerable he makes me feel. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend asked me to write him a poem, as I am an avid writer. Happily, I agreed. After hours of working, I proudly presented it to him. He read it, laughed, and said, "No babe, I meant a real poem." Maybe I should rethink my career choice. FML
Today, my friend, on whom I have a crush since I can remember, read the most beautiful poem to me, which he'd written himself. After reading it, he said that it was for a girl he likes, and asked me if it was good. FML
Today, I spilled my heart out to a guy by showing him one of my poetry journals. He read through it and said, "Wow, I feel sorry for the guy you wrote about." The poems were all about how I loved him. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a really sweet poem that he wrote for me. I think it was secondhand - the first letter of each verse spelled his ex girlfriend's name. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrote me poetry. Here's how it went: "Roses are red, violets are blue, I suck at poetry, show me your tits." That's the most romantic thing he's done for me. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me if we were going to become "that stupid couple that sings cheesy songs to each other." I just spent the past 3 months writing the perfect song that I was planning on singing to him tonight. FML
Today, the person I've been trying so hard to get with wrote me a beautiful poem that almost everyone at my school saw and liked. It was about how we'd never be together. FML
Today, my boyfriend came across an old poem I wrote. I like to write horror stuff, but he was disturbed, called it “silly” and “sad”, and said he didn’t want to have a girlfriend who thinks about stuff like that. I'm now discouraged from becoming a writer. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrote a song for me. As he was singing it to me I realized it was actually a breakup song. FML
Today, I received the sweetest love letter from my boyfriend after having a bad day. After gushing about it and reading it to my friends, they said it reminded them of a letter that they'd seen online. He got it from a fill-in-the-blank love letter generator. FML

It's cool that you had the guts to gave him a poem you wrote yourself, but you really shouldn't write about how vulnerable someone makes you feel. And they're a little overdone, making them even more corny. Not everyone appreciates poetry though.

Ouch. I have been given poems before. I do think they are corny, but the thought that someone put so much effort to impress me is what makes me smile. It's the symbolism, not the words on the paper. That guy isn't very bright, is he? I'd go for a nerd. Smart is the new sexy. xP

Was it an angsty emo poem? If it was, you so deserved that. If not, I can only imagine how heartbreaking that must've been, fyl.

well.. for starters.. he's a dousche bag and you can do better.. i can't stand those types.. he prolly also is the guy that is all.. i hate girls that need to hear that i love her..dumb ass.. will always be alone prolly.. don't listen to these idiots advice in efforts to make you feel like crap either.. the fact of the matter is even if the poem wasn't to him and you just wanted someones support in reading it ... he shouldn't have went there.. the only reason people say those things are because they don't have the balls to be that upfront with their own emotions don't waste your time on guys like that.. they get you nowhere in life except the dark hole they crawled out of

i get not writing something for someone about vulnerability if you're gonna show them, but wtf is with people saying it's weird for girls to write poetry for guys? i feel bad for them. that's pretty ignorant and very rude, in my opinion. keep on writing.

What a douche. It takes guts to do things like that. If you can express yourself that way then keep it up. Everyone needs a healthy outlet.

i totally agree with #194 to express yourself like that requires guts ... and i don't see why girls shouldn't write poems , i'd probably have liked it if i was the guy ...
