Monica asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 8 years ago

What do you think of this poem/ballad I wrote?

People hurt, people cry

Pain stricken and bleeds

People lose loved ones who’ve been there for a while

Through death or neglect

Love destroys worse than hate

For it manipulates

It’s selfish and used as weapons of lust

It makes excuses

(Chorus)

People hurt and lose

By pursuits

People hurt and lose

By neglect

People hurt and lose

From no communication

No one tries to fix what’s broken

    My opinion is that in nowadays poetry the message is more important than the classic rules of measure and rhyme. What I can feel from this poem is hurt and sadness. Like not even love will be enough to give happiness. The isolation of self in the society is making us more susceptible to hurt.

    It's not an optimistic message, but it resonates with many lost souls.
