Judge my original poems [a bit raw]?
They're a bit raw, but it is truly how I feel. I do write happier ones, but I'd like for you to read these. I feel that if I let go of what has been eating at me the past few years, I'll feel better:
“It Isn’t Quiet Here”
It isn’t quiet here,
although I wish it were
I can’t live with everything
That I’ve seen and heard
The insults and excuses,
the lying and the shouting,
the speeches and the hurting
the always ever doubting
You make me sick a lot
More than any other
but the sickest thing of all
Is that you’re my own mother
“Rather Been”
I wish I’d had the guts to tell you
everything that’s on my mind
That you make me wish to die,
to take my life from time to time
You tell me I’m not good enough,
my best isn’t enough to give
I feel like I was barely good enough
To see the white room, to live
You used to joke I was adopted
That my parents left with one motion
But adoption is better than the reality:
I was to be a victim of abortion.

Wow, both of those poems are very powerful. Stick with it and you can be incredible. I really enjoy the twists at the end of both of them. My only suggestion is to make them flow a little bit easier. For example:
That you make me wish to die,
to take my life from time to time
Maybe try to find the beat of the poem, the amount of syllables in each line to make it sound similar through and through. Just my humble opinion.

You might cry now at your problems, but when you have left and overcome them, youll be laughing at her.
