    Of all the times I've wandered here
    I've never seen this door
    Of all the problems I tried to hide
    This one of all hurts more

    Crumbling down, my steely walls
    That held me safe inside
    Degrading into emptyness
    I can no longer hide

    Wanting to run from this light
    Wishing away my pain
    Staring at my mirrored face
    I've never felt so sane

    Mossy walls of memories
    Trapping me inside
    Keeping me from the world
    Inside my mind I hide

    Can you see the things I feel
    The raw emotions tucked away
    All of this, inside so deep
    So I can make it through today

    Scorched ceilings of sanity
    That kept me right inside
    Now burned right to the ground
    And so my time I bide

    Dash away the painless hopes
    Of my cheerful friends
    For when I'm needed not
    I'll not continue life's trends

    Swirling soot of destiny
    I lift my hat to you
    Without your knife they couldn't see
    The pain I'm going through

      Do you realize that your last 2 submissions are both "untitled:dark:poetry"? LoL I like this poem lots...some of it is choppy I s'pose, but I don't think it's all that bad. I love the "mossy walls of memories," it reminds me of "Corroding walls of jealousy," from House of Broken Dreams. But anyway, this is YOUR poem.

    I can no longer hide

    Wanting to hide from this light

    This bothers me. You said "hide" twice in a row. Maybe you could change it to "Wanting to RUN from this light," I think that would work better. You use the word "inside" a lot, as I'm sure you realized...And you used the rhyme "inside" and "hide" twice. Did you do it to be repetetive? Because that is all good, but if you didn't mean to, I thought I would bring it to your attention.
    I was reading along, going "yeah, this is good, not to choppy, yeah..." then I got to the end and I was like, "woah." And I read it again. And probably again. It's just really cool. I am sure I have read the line "The pain I'm going through" 50,000 different times in 43,000 different (or not so different) pieces (probaby 20,000 of the rhyming with "you") but I think it works well here. I have no idea why.
    I think that if you took the "for" out of the 2nd to last line, it would flow better.

    Nice.

      When I read through this piece a couple of times I found 2 -3 different rhythms which causes a little bit of a hiccup in the flow of the poem. The first one occurs between the 4th and 5th verse. You have to read it outloud to hear it. the next one is in the 6th verse and the last one is in the 7th-these are mainly due to the words used with the rhyming scheme that is there. The sentences need to be edited in these verses to maintain an even flow of the poem. This can be a very good poem indeed if this is corrected. You are correct choppy is a good description. Have you thought of maybe turning this into a free form piece then you can keep the lines you have?
