Answer 1

Search for someone (a publisher) who is looking to publish new, upcoming poets, and submit your poems to such a person if their business is legitimate.  Also, enter legitimate poetry contests.  If you don't trust your judgment in entering a contest, just keep in mind that if a poetry contest has no entrance fee, it's usually a scam.  Also, look for reputable companies/names that you are sure are reliable publishers (Writer's Digest, Reader's Digest, etc.)  If you use these methods, more people will see your poetry, and the chances that someone will like them and want to sponsor you are much higher.  Also, I'm very sorry to hear about what's happened to you in the past, and I understand that such memories can be nearly impossible to erase.  It's commendable that you were strong enough to express your feelings about it through poetry instead of turning to a self-destructive path by bottling it up.
