Gain intensity as you squeeze through my wounds loss of sanity with a malevolent smile your tears of sorrow show only in the black light my chest grows shallow, all is released with a sigh today i'm moving on to live whats left of my life live it one way live it my way now you've vanished from the stage i will kill you, now prey just close your eyes 'cause theres nowhere left to hide i swear that this time this is good bye!!! you've threatened me never gave the guilt a rest become sick and fatigued of you being too obsessed and i shed tears of sorrow no i dont believe any of your lies my chelst grows shallow i'm through playing put down the dice today i'm moving on to live whats left of my life live it one way live it my way now you've vanished from the stage who put you in controll of my choices? i'm faint i'm dizzy, i'm down and out there are just way too many voices. i will kill you, now prey just close your eyes 'cause theres nowhere left to hide i swear that this time this is good bye!!!!! |
I commend you for taking a stand with your life and then putting it into words. You've pretty much got the gist of what this poems needs as in improvement, so I won't beat a dead horse. I think you have potential, and I feel you can do so much better because you tap so well into your feelings. You just need to learn how to word it in a way that ic concise and vivid with details or imagery that pertain to the poem in question. Also learn to focus, knowing when to use imagery and when simple words are enough. It takes time, even I'm still in training! You must the desire to write, a passion that thirves within you and flows from your soul to your fingers, to ink and paper. If writing not a serious craft you wish to master, then disregard my advice. If so, ask questions, learn from others, read others, and lastly keep trying! I've enjoyed reading your work. I thank you for asking me to do so. If you ever need help. please feel free to ask. If I don't know, I'll find someone who does. I hope I did not offend you in anyway. if so, I apologize now. Please stay in touch.

I do hope you understand that i didn't mean to critisize just try suggest improvements that might help. Keep writing and smile, it makes the world a better place. much love kaity | Posted on 2005-10-11 00:00:00 | by Kaitylizzy | [ Reply to This ] | I don't know that I would be as harsh as Alia, however it does seem a bit choppy. Smooth it out a little, find a flow or a rhythm. Break the lines in order to remove some of the punctuation marks. Are you new to writing poetry? If so give it time, work with it before posting it. Play with different words, try to use metaphors to help paint a picture. If you want some help feel free to ask, I'd love to talk to you. If you aren't new to writing and you like it, in the end that's all that matters. Take care! | | Posted on 2005-10-10 00:00:00 | by angel_eyes9701 | [ Reply to This ] | |
