Ok, since you made such a deal about this being "emo" I have to ask... what does that mean?
I hear it so much, but its not I term I grew up with...

Does emo mean you cut yourself, or that you're suicidal... alot of times when people use the term "emo" in reference to poetry, the poetry seems to have a cutting or suicide theme...

But then Ive heard certain bands are "emo"... but when I hear their music, to me it doesn't seem overly depressing or suicidal ... or about cutting ones self.. so... What DOES emo mean? Emotional??? If so, isn't everything emo to a degree?

Nice poem. I wouldn't say it was emo though more like twisted..in a very good way....^__^b

Emo is just one of those stereotypes of people who are depressed, and generally it involves them being suicidal and cutting themselves.
