Sorrounded.

by Blank   Apr 22, 2018


(This is my first poem attempt, negative and positive feedback is HUGELY appreciated. I hope you enjoy it.)
-------------------------------------------------------
Here I stand,
Sorrounded by nothing
But everything.
The grass beneath my shoes,
The tree beyond my back.
The wind that rushes through my hair and the rain that collapses onto me.

The thunder and flashes that intimidate me, the lightning that strikes constantly.

Here I stand,
Sorrounded by everything,
Thoughts, feelings, family, friends.
But nothing. But no one.
Just the darkness that resides deep within me.

    ..this portion really hit home with me, which in my opinion, makes the read better. Well written & greatly detailed.
    Excellent work.

      I'm glad you enjoyed it!
      I try to relate with people as much as possible, I want my poems to help spread awarness of people who are alone. No one should stand by themself.

    Considering this is your first poem, it really is special. I seem to recall my first attempt was a, roses are red type effort - so well done.

    Your poem resonated with me and I am sure will do with others too. Standing in a room full of people and feeling alone/ feeling out-of-place, like an imposter. I mean, how can others know what you are feeling/ coping with?

    Inside a whirlwind of emotions, memories strike, returning their pain, just like lightening strikes, right?

    Overall, a good poem that mostly shows the reader emotions, rather than telling them.

    I would advise a little editing here and there, just to condense the idea. Also, this would uniform the text, so it presents as a tidier poem.

    Great first poem - I look forward to reading more from you.
