Life or Love

by Austin   Feb 3, 2005


Time and time again
I go along with the clock
Read out of the book
The steps to make you happy
But maybe this book should be revised
Because you fee like all my words are lies
You say my feelings don't show
Covered by a mask that represents falsehood
And when I say how I feel
You just push it aside
And now I don't know what to do
Either I let go or keep trying
I've come to far to give up
Yet you say I hurt you
DO I continue to hurt my love
Or do I stay steadfast to my feelings
Do I give up what I am for love
Or do I sacrifice the only thing that makes me whole
For the sake of my egotistical nature
A struggle of will power over love
Not to see my true intentions
Until I give up one
Life or Love
Which do I choose

    The key to writing good non rhyming poetry is making sure it still reads as a poem and flows from line to line and from point to point. I think thats maybe what this poem is lacking. I see you are trying to prove a point and an original one at that. I do understand what you are saying but reading it, it is coming across as just a very long sentance. You need to make what you say stronger and keep the reader interested in what you're saying. I think that is the only problem, your poem lacks strength. But then again i do like the ending, it makes the reader feel the poem personally and think what they would do.
    Keep writing, keep improving.
