My Reason.

by Monica AKA Mika   Oct 12, 2008


Lookin

Lookin for my reason

Reason I'm on this earth

Don't know why God put me through all this

pain and hurt

I feel I don't even have a purpose

Almost like I'm worthless cuz

who do I make happy

I see no smiling faces

I'm sitting in one spot

And everyone else goin places

College, good jobs

Its seems I'm unaware

Of how I got here

And how to get there

Don't know where to start

Only know where it ends

Feel like all I can do is

Turn to my family and friends

But once you at those gates

Your all alone

I can't look over my shoulder

Or dial a number in my phone

All I can do is tell God everything

He already know

Which is where I've been

And where I was supposed to go

Not what I had, who I knew, where I've been or what I spent

Cuz cars, clothes and martial things

Mean nothings on the day of judgment

Judgment

Yea, He's the only one who can judge me

And let me see

Where I'm supposed to be

And when I feel like up and leavin

Cuz I feel I have no reason

I look up and I see it all

Cuz dats when I see Jesus.

    I like how you have the element of god in your work. I beleave that he is there through all over out tough times. Also the rythm and meater in this poem is frequently used as well as constant and that in itself is a big part of your style. Although you can alaways change things up. Keep writing and good luck on your future poems

    Ok, first, some spelling/ grammar:
    Almost like I'm worthless cuz
    who do I make happy (((Should there be a question mark here or a semi colon?)))
    I see no smiling faces

    ------------------

    All I can do is tell God everything
    He already know (((Should there be an 's' here?)))
    Which is where I've been

    ---------------

    Cuz cars, clothes and martial things (((Idk if martial is the word you want to you. you may want to chekc on the definition which can be done at http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/martial))))

    but other than that, i really liked this- even better than the last one youw rote. again, there was a bit of slang, but it does not disrupt the poem, it makes sense and im thinking it's your style.

    great job.
    keep writing.

    You started off good, the flow was pretty good, and then it turned kind of mushy and I had no idea where you were taking me.. the flow got pretty rocky in the middle and the end. You had a few grammatical issues, but in other words.. I thought that you expressed your self very well here, and I know some people feel the same like you.. they feel as though they have no purpose in life and they don't make people happy. Truly an understandable write.. but, I have to give you a 4/5 because the grammatical errors were just too obvious, and the flow was rocky at some points.

    A poem with a purpose (: Love the thoughts portrayed in this piece, and while I disagree with bits and pieces, I too have a great faith in God, and it is wonderful to see your heart towards him. The flow was bit rocky, but overall it was nicely done. Keep it up,
