Hello asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 5 years ago

How's this poem ?

those were the good old days

when happiness came in more ways

when I wasn't transfixed on how much I weighed

now all that matters is the money I've payed

what can I possibly do to try and make this pain go away

just for a couple days just to build my strength to let it tumble again in a daze

I worry this isn't a phase

I'm worried the pain will never stop eating my heart away

it feels like my whole body is in a state of decay

like I'm too dead inside to even remember what it was like to smile , even just for awhile

just for today

    I hope if these are your sentiments, that wellness comes your way! I like your poem, it's freely versed!

    There isn't much new written here even though

    an effort is better then none.

    It's lacking imagery and any punch that makes it stand out.

    I sit here all day,continuing to write words,

    All the time over thinking is turning absurd,

    Write,imagine,throw out,then start again,

    Remembering most poets have no friends.

    When we start to die

    we are never really sure why

    Yes it's strange,

    when we never know how or what to change.

    interesting poem

    I like it, my only advice is to type it in a proper format. This should bring a larger amount of positive reviews.

    Most of the "rhyming" words don't actually rhyme. Try again.
