Unfinished Scars
Not quite prone no signs of pain, this is not my home, or so you say i see no tears we were getting better trade in our years so self-centered your wings fall away with your innocence in every word you say never felt, i never felt this feeling never had anyone who gave a fuck by your hand by your hand i'm bleeding, by your hand.. i'm cut now i'm unsure why so hollow inside i, cry how long is too long untill this heals and i can feel again reality still fucks with me too blind to see through scars that never leave never felt, i never felt this feeling never had anyone who gave a fuck by your hand by your hand i'm bleeding, by your hand.. i'm cut all i've felt a dormant state of feelings never had anytime to realize it assumption making contemplating all i'm facing it never ends so there is no time i'm wasting now by your hand, by your hand.... i'm cut. |

| First, I must say is that I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope you have since healed or found some closure. Now onto your poem. I enjoyed the deep feelings of pain you expressed. Although I'm a fan of short lined stanzas, I feel with this one, you may need to say more and try not to short a sentence just for style or format. I also noticed your rhyming was off a bit, for this reson I would suggest free verse or no rhyming at all, and jut let the words flow. Your imagery was good. And your poem was easy to relate to and feel your pain. Overall, good, but needs a little more work.

However I grew up a military child, my father and currently my fiance are part of the military. We as civilians hurt to, not nearly as much as you do I am sure, but ours is emotional and hatred for the governement for taking our loved ones away. Just always remember you have the american people and your family here to support you. | | Posted on 2005-10-10 00:00:00 | by angel_eyes9701 | [ Reply to This ] | To begin I am very sorry, and I will not even try to relate because I can't even come close. The poem is full of emotions, but the way you layed out and peiced the words together gave the poem a sofisticated feeling to it. The way the words were small stanzas and lines, made me feel the longing, evn my the shape of the poem and letters it seemed to me like a tear trickling down the face. | About the poem in particular, sometimes I dn't like poems that repeat lines, but this one did an excellent job with the repitiion, reminding the reader how horrible and hurt this has caused you. The line that really stood out was: "trade in our years so self-centered" Those words alone capture the anger the pain the sadness of this reality, again I am very sorry, and will be here if you need to talk. Anywya look up, the stars are always shinning! take care, much love kaity | Posted on 2005-10-10 00:00:00 | by Kaitylizzy | [ Reply to This ] | |
