Why can I never sleep?..

by Kayla Heinze   Jul 25, 2012


All these thoughts I choose to keep
As I long to drift off to sleep
Memories fade...memories fade..
While new ones are waiting to be made
The future has come but it's not like a thought..
So many things I am or have fought
Oh life...why have you erased the thoughts I want, and kept the ones I hate....
And you wonder why I always manage to stay up late...
Thanks for this I'm tired and done
You can definitely say your battle... Has been won

    Yes, it makes much more sense except for one thing: you forgot to capitalize the 'i' :x

    I'm sorry! I just have a problem with lowercased i's...

    Hello =]

    I have decided to comment on this one because there are a couple mistakes, and because I like the message, or at least the one that I got from reading it :)

    Typos: 'of' in the second line is supposed to be 'off,' and the 'he' in the fourth would make me more sense if it was 'be.' I am also confused with the first line...I don't know what you are trying to say here. Are you trying to say that you keep certain thoughts? If that is so, then you might want to change the wording...

    The message in this story is so true. I have often found that I remember the bad memories a lot more than the good, which is really sad because I sometimes tend to think that my whole life has been bad when it truth it has not (man, what a long sentence!). Life can be a bugger sometimes.

    Overall, I like this poem. I just think it needs a little work, and it will be in tip-top shape :]

    Excellent
    5/5
