The Chance Of Life.

by Hallo A Lilium   Jul 7, 2009


I'm a fragile girl-
I'm like a little child.

As the clock of my life tick's-
It's gets harder to fake the happy smiles.

I slowly perish away-
Each and every day that passes by.

But I still got my ounce of hope-
And my bits and pieces of self esteem.

As of late I've realized -
That no one can take those away from me.

I'm not prestigious in any shape or form;
But I'm perfectly abnormal; I'm above the norm.

My dreams can be accomplished if I try my best-
Life gives me trouble's but they are just a test.

Silently I pray asking the Lord for help and advise;
Guide the way and I'll walk down the path at least twice.

Of course I'm scared of failing but I know I'll survive;
Because one of the greatest gifts of all..

Is the chance given to be alive.

    No doubt a 5/5. I really enjoyed reading this poem. Well, its deep, and it bought a tear to my eye, but that's only because its written so beautifully, like your feelings and emotions just spilled over =]
    Damn right, no-one can ever take your hope and self-esteem away from you..
    My favourite stanza:

    Silently I pray asking the lord for help and advise;
    Guide the way and I'll walk down the path at least twice.

    ^^ These were were the most touching lines for me. I just love the way you penned your thoughts into a perfect rhyming couplet. Awesome.
    And i really can not find anything to criticize!
    Very well done, don't stop writing.

    'I'm a fragile girl-
    I'm like a little child.'
    `Great beginning, describing how youre fragile like a child, great simile there. You are probably rather innocent as well, thats another word we refer to children as. Good beginning, fragile may be used to here in a case that youve been through a lot in life and now youre fragile and anything could possibly break you.

    'It gets harder every moment;
    To keep on faking these happy smiles.'
    `I think you could take out on and just say.. 'To keep faking these happy smiles.'

    'I slowly perish away-
    Each and every day that passes by.'
    `Great word choice here, liked the usage of perish, definatly well done.

    'But I still got my ounce of hope-
    And my bits and pieces of self esteem.'
    `I think have would sound better than got. Loved how this was worded though, very uniquely said - Although things are hard theres still that 'ounce of hope' remaining which is always good to hear.

    'I've realized lately-
    That no one can take those away from me.'
    `I dont think that the stanza above this flowed into this as nicely as it should of.. maybe say.. 'Yet, as of late I realize-' or maybe 'Yet, lately I've realized' - Some suggestions. Loved what you said here, great thoughts. That hope is barely there but you keep holding on to it and wont let anyone take it from you.

    'I'm not prestigious in any shape or form;
    But I'm perfectly abnormal and I'm above the norm.'
    `Take and out and just put a semi colon [;] maybe? Again, loved what you said here; it shows the kind of person you are as well, you arent like others necessiarly, you are 'abnormal' or in better words unique.

    'My dreams can be accomplished if I try my best-
    Life give's me trouble's but they are just a test.'
    `Give's doesnt need an apostrophe.. [gives] and trouble's doesnt either [troubles]. Such inspirational words here, yes we can accomplish our dreams and goals if we try our best and in life we encounter many difficults and troubles but its truly a test of our strength and ability to get over them.

    'Of course I'm scared of failing but I know I'll survive;
    Because one of the greatest gifts of all..

    Is the chance given to be alive.'
    `Awesome flow at the end and beautiful words.. it truly made a great ending. I think a lot of us always have that fear of failing, I know thats one of my greatest fears - loved your little touch though, although you may be scared you are alive and thats truly what we should remember. To be alive is definatly a gift.

    Well done with this.
    :]

    5/5.

    Very well done sweetie. I really liked this poem a lot. yeah, we go through a lot of things in our lives and no matter what in the end some of us will figure out that it is good to be alive. sometimes some people don't figure that out till its to late. but God does give us all a life to live it the way we actually want to no matter if we damage it and kill it or just be kind and gentle. This poem had a little bit a both. which is always good. :]

    keep it up.
    keep on writing.
    love always and forever.

    I thought this poe was very simple compared to your other pieces, but I still liked it. I felt happy and hopeful while reading this. Like I can do anything. I loved the way you wrote this, with the two lines. They compliment each other well. This was good hun. Keep it up. Nik
