Down in the Valley

by Dustin Walters   Apr 30, 2008


Im scribbling my life away
With all these thoughts of damned decay
I need to run; but will it save me
is running from your mind even a possibility?
Apparently not, Im still trapped
My speed and potential completely untapped
But still I try and try I must
Or forever I will sleep in the valley of dust
There are lots of creatures just like me
With death soon to come; youll see
Soon youll follow my trail of dirt
Forever disguised with forever hurt
Youll join this clan of dead inside
And with our love youll truly bide
You wont leave until the day
And with that last price youll pay
Death is dead; the final cost
Soon youll owe your love life lost
And with that said you know its true
Goodbye mortality and goodbye you.

    I like this piece, but I'll start with critics:
    First off, you should edit this poem and add apostrophes on some places. Also, you should revise it and add punctuation signs on some places to create more powerful rhythm. You maybe need more effective ending line (I don't want to offend you, this is juts my opinion), because the repetition of the word 'goodbye' within the last line disturbs the flow a bit.

    Overall, this is well written piece which contains an amount of emotions expressed in a truly great way. I like your choice of words and the atmosphere that you created. A lot of people can relate to the feelings that you described here. Your descriptions and imagery through the poem are quite powerful.
    I read the poem twice and tied to find favorite lines to highlight in the comment but there are too many really deep and profound lines.

    Keep writing!
