My Goal

by Robert   Nov 27, 2004


My Goal

I have approached life with a certain glee,
a method that seems to be within me.
I have scratched every inch that I could hold,
and spoke of life in a voice that was bold.
I have be beaten but stood up again to fight,
I have tried so hard that I was abandon by my might.
When all said I was to fail and just don’t try,
I boar down and screamed out my warrior cry.
I never looked back to the people I hurt in my way,
for it was up ahead that my goal was on to stay.
People said my ego was too much for most,
but it was the thing that fueled me to go from coast to coast.
I am but a man nothing else does I even need to say,
and in my life I have little to pray.
God is but a stranger and worship is but a simple thing,
for in my life I have seen life as a never-ending ring.
I will expense everything I must for what I intend to right,
for in the blackest of my soul is my goal which is to write.

    Again, I just didn't really like it too much. In the line, "for in my life I have seen life as a never-ending ring." you repeat the word "life". I wouldn't do that, it makes the poem sound boring and repetitive. You've got a few gramatical errors, but nothing too major. I think once you polish it up it'll be a very nice poem. I liked the idea of imagery in the last line (which is what people remember most) and I think that saved the poem. 4/5.

    Great poem. Your word choice and flow was great. It made me think deeply while reading. The rhyming was slightly off, maybe you could improve on that. But I thought it was excellent. Keep it up! [: 5/5
