I'm an author and I've already gotten my book copyrighted and I want to find an agent. I've never had any experience with agents so i was just wondering I have to pay for them. My sister told me I only have to pay a certain percentage of how much I make, but I'm still not sure. Thank you to those who respond.

So, I'm working on a book and in the book I need a poem. Something that either talks about abuse or something along those lines. I would write a poem myself, but most of my poems are about just the opposite of what I need and I tried and I suck. I would really really appreciate it.

So, I'm writing a book titled, The Cure Called Love, and I'd really appreciate it if a few people could read it. You don't even have to read the whole thing, the first couple chapters would be great. It's a teen romance/drama.

Here's the link:

A poem by me...please give me feedback. I would seriously be grateful.

Why I Cry

Sitting here, in this cold, dark room

Holding back the tears

Tears of sadness and tears of anger

Sad at what I see

Angry at the world by which does it

People see, yet pretend they don't

Pretend they don't see when one's in need

In need of comfort in need of something

No one knows what they need but no one cares

No one cares what happens to another

Everyone's selfish indeed

I admit, I too, am selfish at times

I feel for those whom have loved and lost

I feel for those whom have done nothing wrong

This world is sick and full of sh*t

I wish it would all end I know it won't

I could end it for myself and have no worry at all

But I'm so selfless

I think about those few who care

The few who care who thinks everythings fine

Nothings perfect; therefor, everything is

But what is perfect

In a world of murder and rape and child abuse

Nothing's perfect, so everything is

I see and understand

I'm too old for my age

I shouldn't see the things my eyes look at

I shouldn't hear the things my ears listen to

I shouldn't feel the things my body touches

I shouldn't taste the salty tears

The salty tears that flow my cheeks when I go to sleep

I shouldn't go through a lot of things

But I do

I want it to end where everything dissapears

I'm too weak to do it myself

So here I sit in this dark, cold room, just wishing

Wishing that someone in this foul, cruel world

Would just end it all for me

Why

Why must horrible things happen to the one's who don't want it

But it avoids the ones who are desperate for it

I cry for not myself

But I cry for those who come in a later time

The ones who get beaten by their mothers and fathers

The ones who get shot on the block

For walking home just an hour too late

The ones who are raped and forced into abortion

The ones who fall in love and end up dropped like a ton

I cry for everyone who does not see

Everyone who is blinded by selfishness

And anything else imaginable

I cry for those who are just like me

I wrote this a few days ago. It's kinda long but I would sincerely appreciate feedback. Criticism is welcomed as long as you explain your reasoning. Thanks guys!

Does anyone know who wrote that poem? It went like this:

Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines

he wrote a poem

And he call it "Chops"

because that was the name of his dog

And that's what it was all about

And his teacher gave him an A

and a gold star

And his mother hung it on the kitchen door

and read it to his aunts

That was the year Father Tracy

took all the kids to the zoo

And let them sing on the bus

And his little sister was born

with tiny toenails and no hair

And his mother and father kissed a lot

And the girl around the corner sent him a

Valentine signed with a row of X's

and he had to ask his father what the X's meant

And his father always tucked him in bed at night

And was always there to do it

Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines

he wrote a poem

And he called it "Autumn"

because that was the name of the season

And that's what it was all about

And his teacher gave him an A

and asked him to write more clearly

And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door

because of its new paint

And kids told him

that Father Tracy smoked cigars

And left butts on the pews

And sometimes they would burn holes

That was the year his sister got glasses

with thick lenses and black frames

And the girl around the corner laughed

when he asked her to go see Santa Claus

And the kids told him why

his mother and father kissed a lot

And his father never tucked him in at night

And his father got mad

when he cried for him to do it

Once on a paper torn from his notebook

he wrote a poem

And called it "Innocence: A Question"

because that was the question about his girl

And that's what it was all about

And his professor gave him an A

and a strange steady look

And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door

because he never showed her

And that was the year Father Tracy died

And he forgot how the end

of the Apostle's Creed went

And he caught his sister

making out on the back porch

And his mother and father never kissed

or even talked

And the girl around the corner

wore too much makeup

That made him cough when he kissed her

but he kissed her anyway

because that was the thing to do

And at three A.M. he tucked himself into bed

his father snoring loudly

That's why on the back of a brown paper bag

he tried another poem

And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"

Because that's what it was really all about

And he gave himself an A

and a slash on each damned wrist

And he hung it on the bathroom door

because this time he didn't think

he could reach the kitchen

So, basically, I've been going out with this guy on the internet for about two months and I don't care what anyone says, I really care about him and I really want to stay with him. I was thinking of breaking up with him because I mean it's over the internet so it's not like it will be able to go very far, right? I really, really care about him but I just don't know what to do anymore because I've been asking myself this question for I don't know how long and I've put it off but I can't just ignore it anymore. Can someone please help me because I'm so confused right now. Oh, and don't try to call me desperate because I'm internet dating because I'm really not and the only reason I am is because all the guys I know that like me are way too immature.

Well here's the thing, I'm writing a book called Love & Let Hate and I really want advice on it so if you could look at the link below and tell me what you think then that would be awesome. I don't care about criticism as long as it isn't just to get me down and please explain the reason behind your thoughts. Thanks guys!

This is called The Bird In A Cage.

I don't think it's as good as Wonderin' but I guess it's passable?

A bird is locked in a cage

It sings and chirps yet no one can hear

No one will listen to the cries of a captive

This bird you see, it stares out at the world

And wishes that someday maybe it can finally take wing

Another bird lives outside the cage

He sings a melody like no other to the bird in the cage

He is free and knows what the world is like

But he is in love with the bird in the cage

She loves him too and wants him to live his birdie life

Instead, he is outside her cage singing her favorite song

But there was another, a mommy bird

She told the bird in the cage that she would remain

To always do as told and never take flight

The bird in the cage hated her mother

Wishing she could just leave her be

But the mommy bird does not sing

And she will not listen to the cries of a captive

Nor will she ever leave her be

So the love is lost between the two

And this is the story of the bird in the cage

Once again, criticism is welcomed as long as it isn't random thoughts and you actually took the time to look and rad my poem.

He said he loved me

He said he cared

Now that he's gone I'm wonderin'

How was that when he was never there

Every time he broke my heart in two

He put it back together again

Now that he's gone I'm wonderin'

Where was he when I lost my best friend

I would've known it wouldn't last

I would've known he wasn't real

Now that he's gone I'm wonderin'

Why is it love I still feel

He was my boo that was true

I was his ride or die chick

Now that he's gone I'm wonderin'

What the hell was that other *****

He was grimy and dirty

Yeah it's true I was played

Now that he's gone I'm wonderin

Why after the first break up I stayed

I really loved him

I swear I really cared

Now that he's gone I'm wonderin'

Why am I so scared

He broke my heart and hurt me so bad

I knew there was way better men

Now that he's gone I'm wonderin'

Will I ever be able to love again

Criticism is welcome, as long as it is honest!

Such a sweet kiss

Full of sweet bliss

You were all mine

And then along came time

"You don't trust me" is what I was told

And yet this is what was given for me to behold

All your lies wrapped with evil ties

I still think about your final goodbyes

Why did I trust you

When you had two

I gave you my trust

And she gave you her bust

You wondered why I hated her

What you two had wasn't a blur

I was as faithful as you made yourself seem

We were supposed to be a team

The worse part is you tried to find my reaction

By saying your "friend" took all the action

When you told me this I immediately saw

But I wasn't ready, not ready to fall

If you are wondering, yes this is true and I wrote this a only a few days ago.

We lay on our blanket, fingers intertwined

Under our tree since adolescence

Our hearts are one together

Without missing a beat

I feel free no rules, no problems

Just you and I

Me and you

As we were made for this

Each other...love

I stare at the clouds as you stare at me

I feel beautiful more than I know I am

The world is spinning but now I finally can feel it

I'm not dizzy though more like mesmerized

But I'm awake and more alive than ever before

Your are my angel as I am your dove

And we, we are in love
