Comments : Letting myself fall

  • 14 years ago

    by ibelievedhim

    I dont want to defend myself anymore
    Im sick of trying
    Im sick of fightning

    *this stanza is great! love that you opened the poem this way. im sure lots of readers will be able to relate! lots of pain in 3 lines.

    Im letting go of myself
    Im letting myself fall
    Im letting myself hurt

    *nice repetition here of the im letting. i like the way you show your hurt instead of telling. it's so much better to let the reader see it.

    Im sick of trying to fix things
    If something breaks
    I wont try to mend it anymore

    I'll take the blows
    Hit me
    I'll take the pain
    Hurt me

    * these stanzas are absolutely perfect! a feeling of giving up, of no longer caring is expressed so well. giving in to the pain...the 2nd stanza hurts to read but its so good!!

    I dont care
    If I die in 5 minutes
    I dont care
    I just dont carel

    *great way to end this piece strongly! repetition of i dont care is nice. love when you say in 5 minutes, is very dramatic and adds great imagery to the poem. the last line, should say "care" not "carel" thats the only error ;)

    great job, one of your best! 5/5 katie
