No one is there I’m all alone No longer do I have someone to lean on The emptiness I feel has finally shown And the happiness I felt is gone No more will I smile, no more will I laugh I thought I could get away from that empty place But instead I had my life ripped in half And am forever stuck in an empty space. Hidden from pain Lying to myself, saying I could do it Trying so hard; it almost made me feel sane I started to love, started to trust Felt the simple joys I did without all that time Leaving my misery in the dust And finally my life was once again mine. But things change and now I’m alone Never to feel what I felt The emptiness has yet again shown I’ll just play with the hand, faith has dealt Never to smile, never to laugh, because now I’m all alone. |
I think it went over quite well with me. You have the potential to make your work something great but I think that the rhyme scheme is going to make it seem a little stuffy. Try experimenting with more free verse instead of traditional rhyme, just to get a taste of a different perspective. The point of view you write from can always expand and grow so long as you mold your talents and try new things as a writer. You have to stick your neck out sometimes to get what you really want, and I think that once you do you can really start to turn some heads. -Kenji| Posted on 2004-12-24 00:00:00 | by Kenji Light | [ Reply to This ] | aside from some grammatical errors, this is a relatively good piece. i like that you break free from traditional rhyming schemes, but some of your thoughts are confusing because you tend to jump around a lot. good idea for a poem; mine are very much like this. also, i think you should change the ending - make it more mysterious. generate some curiousity in your readers. just broaden the idea, and i think it will help to better your poem. keep up the writing! | | Posted on 2004-11-22 00:00:00 | by dark_and_dreary | [ Reply to This ] | come on. please tell me what you think of it. any ideas on how to make it better? hell i don't care if you bash it. at least that way i know what people think of it. :D lol. | Ja ne Akai_Ame ![]() ![]() ![]() | Posted on 2004-11-21 00:00:00 | by Akai_Ame | [ Reply to This ] | |
