Not necessarily. If you are continuously writing dark and disturbing poetry possibly and you might consider talking to someone about it. However, deeply emotional poems, no. It may just mean you are passionate about the topic.

Well said! It just means that you are sensitive and have a way with words. You know what they say....tell someone something bad, then you have to tell them 10 good things to make up for the one bad thing. They are just felt more deeply.eastandalchemy wrote: ↑07 May 2019, 13:19 I often write some of my best work when I am emotional-either sad, angry, or passionate about a specific situation or idea. If you write "sad" or dark poetry, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are depressed (although if you are having unhealthy thoughts, that's another story). It just means you are able to tap into your deep emotional well and express those thoughts through your art.

- Latest Review: The Wingless Fairy by Kye Strothers
You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!
Emily Dickinson

I also liked LivreAmour217's point that writing deep poems may actually help you cope with emotions that could potentially otherwise cause depression. I know writing has helped me cope with a lot of things.
