Forever The Fallen

by CourtneyyContageous   Jul 29, 2008


Just another step of agony
A step of searing pain
A tiny gulp of polluted air
One more day, not the same

Walking along side the shadows
'The Invisible' as we're known
This is the anthem to anyone
Who's ever felt, alone

Another person to meet
Is one more who won't understand
We don't live 'normal' lives
And we don't think we even can

A friend who's there for us
But doesn't seem to know
The feelings that we hold inside
We couldn't bare to show

As we hide in the corner
Of our tiny darkened cell
Never bothering to find our light
But Seeing it; only time can tell

We'll forever be the darkness
Lurking around the corners of light
Waiting to find another one to fall
And show them our way of life

    This is my personal favorite poem that has a folk depth to it

    My favorite quatrain is
    Walking along side the shadows
    'The Invisible' as we're known
    This is the anthem to anyone
    Who's ever felt, alone"

    It reminds me of a Dylan lyric "Walking through the leaves falling from the trees feeling like a stranger that nobody sees"

    I thought this was very well written. Most of your rhymes worked out perfectly. I really really enjoyed the story of this poem. I think..haha I have like four ideas of what you were talking about. I over think things a lot. XD

    Well done.

    I really enjoyed the last stanza btw. Finished your poem nicely.

    Ah! I really liked this a lot. I thought it was well written, and the rhymes were pretty good.

    "Walking along side the shadows
    'The Invisible' as we're known
    This is the anthem to anyone
    Who's ever felt, alone"

    ^^ In the last line, the comma is not needed before "alone".

    "We'll forever be the darkness
    Lurking around the corners of light
    Waiting to find another one to fall
    And show them our way of life"

    ^^ I think you should rethink "life" & "light" as rhyming words. They don't actually rhyme.

    Despite those couple of things, I liked the choice of words you used in this piece, and I feel like a lot of people can relate to it. Good job. 5/5
