dude you are just like me! i always write stuff like 'hmm i don't think this is very good but read it please and comment!' i'm just not very confident about my writing. i can't fake how i feel about my work! i agree it probably isn't nice to start with self pity in ur intro but to be honest that is what attracted me to it coz i wanted to prove you wrong! =P xox

Problem with that is, that doesn't sound anything like me. The way I write is naturally rather self-deprecating. "Youthful years" and "soothe my soul" just don't seem to be anything I'd write. Thanks for the advice though. Very enlightening and practical.

No one wants to read a project that introduces itself with self pity. I suggest you rewrite your introduction, changing "I am not a very good poet but oh well..."
Maybe use:
A collection of poems I have written over my youthful years.
Poetry from a non-poet is exactly what you think. I am not a conventional poet, but ocassionally I write poetry to soothe my soul.
