Let Me Decay Here, Beside My Broken Heart.

by Courageous Dreamer   Aug 27, 2008


-This poem was basically just me venting,
being fed up with everything in life that I can
no longer take the pain that everything causes.
Sorry, it's not my best.

I tried to stay happy, full of hope-
but I'm realizing that's impossible.
Hope has been washed away along with-
the smile that only shined for a day or two.

Sinking in my emotions, nearly drowning.
Deep in thought, the tears start flowing.
Beating myself up, causing more pain.
Failure, all that remains in my mind.

One day I'm happy, the other I'm not.
I don't understand my feelings anymore-
they confuse me to the point where-
thinking is not an option to begin with.

Maybe giving everything up to this point-
losing everything, drowning in my tears.
Being a failure, is what I've always been-
let me decay here, beside my broken heart.

Life is too complicated to live these days-
why am I even here? I don't deserve this.
I wish the things in life that I want most-
would just come to me. I'm sick of fighting.

    I liked this. I thought it was honest, and straight from your heart. The emotion came through, as well. The only thing I can say I dislike is the fact that you use a lot hyphens where they're not needed.

    "I tried to stay happy, full of hope-

    -- In the third line.

    -- In the first & third line.

    Of course, I am not telling you to take them out, but I just thought I'd point out that I don't believe they're needed. Overall, I thought it was a good piece.

    Five out of five. [5/5]

    Such sweet honesty is not something we encounter in our day to day lives. It is great that you can talk about you feelings in honest terms.

    The first stanza pulled me in immeadetly.
    "the smile that only shined for a day or two".

    ^^ wow very powerful words, especialy in the first few lines.

    The rest of your poem had consistent flow and had very good emotions. You say this isn't your best, but it was very amazing to me. You're a great poet. Keep up the beautiful work.<3

    5/5
