Do you have to be an emotional person to be a good/great poet?

Oh and what do you think of my poem:

the lord knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish
so let us breath and forgive each other
you saved us from mankind and you still the hunger of those you cherish
so what dont kill us makes us stronger

Until you find a spark,
not even close to large.
it leads you out of the dark,
and takes you back, free of charge.

Our light and temporary battles are shaping us for an eternal glory that outweighs them all
so now we must fix our eyes not on what is seen
and since we are so ready for these walls to fall
we fix our eyes on what is going to be unseen

Wet then look past the hate, the regret.
and find the beautiful things around us,
all the small things that clutter our mind, we forget.
and then true happiness, we do not need pursue

now

Im sorry I hurt you
Im sorry I get emotional
Im sorry if this is true
Im sorry but you need to let that go

and yes we have struggles and trials
but let
or mentally unstable "no offense" because from what I understand is that poetry comes from the heart...and people say that thinking or doing stuff from the heart is not always right.

Reason: Im interested in writing a full blown poetry book...I just get emotional most of the time and cant control my emotions so I just found out that poetry is doing me some good in controlling my emotions better :) and imma guy...u can laugh...LOL!!!!
and yes we have struggles and trials
but let us not be discouraged nor afraid for this battle is not ours to fight
and because his delays are not denials
we walk by faith and not by sight

so let us not become weary in doing good
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up

We need to know the past is the past
And we will be fine
Cause our struggles do not always last
So do not stress for we will receive our blessing or blessings in due time

some got cut off :)!!!!
 
It depends...

I like to think of it as a mix between emotion and creativity.. That to me is what makes a great poem.

So being creative and emotional I'd say are the top two.
