Shattered dreams

by LostHopesCrimsonTears   May 10, 2005


I try to be optimistic
about my future, but it seems
what Ive wanted my whole life
is falling apart right in front of me

i don't know when it happened
the minute or the day
i don't know when i threw
all my dreams away

the image was clear
but now the mirror has been shattered
shall i now wait seven years to be happy again?

when will i be able
to move on with my life?
nothing will ever be as it once was
this i know.
but maybe, in time,
i will find a life better
than the one i once knew...
and all my shattered dreams

    Great poem, the use of imagery is really evocative, you clearly knew exactly what you wanted to say and had no trouble expressing in. Excellent write "what Ive wanted my whole life
    is falling apart right in front of me" I really loved this line, really sets the tone and feeling from the very beginning, 5/5 x

    "Ive" should be "I've and the "i"s in your poem would look neater capitalised
    Now that's the boring bit done and dusted
    The actual content of the poem was brilliant, I loved the 1st and 2nd stanza the most I think...throwing your dreams away is a vivid image...as they are the one thing that should be held onto
    The last stanza was a little hard to read...but it wasn't terribly important
    Well done :D

    It was a bit discordant and random in areas and there could have been a bit more detail about your dreams and why they were so suddenly shattered. The title works well here but it lacked structure...

    I didn't like the change in structure, it rhymed . . then it didn't and it seemed to dent the flow of the poem a little. I can't say I enjoyed reading this poem all that much, but I did think that the language was well used, and if you had kept the rhyming it might have flowed a lot better.

    Peace. [Sole]
