Ah, the certainty of youth! Larry Send a noteboard - 25/03/2010 08:02:32 AM
Her poems are absurdly overrated. That some people actually waste their careers analyzing her vacuous lyrics amazes me.


I can understand how certain poems will not connect with certain people, at least at certain points in their lives, but being certain that one has a truer, better grasp than others without the experience or credentials to back it up...

Yep, typical teen, I see.
