Forlorn Hope

by enfant du tordu chagrin   Oct 12, 2005


I sit and wonder, sit and think
And into depression i further sink
I don't know anything, nothing at all
Not even how to avert my own fall

I cant help those for whom i care
Theres no one with whom i feel i can share
Life seems pointless, dull and drab
As each chance slips by, I vainly grab

Each day it gets harder just to wake
And these feelings i cannot shake
I find it hard to draw a breath
As inside i wish for death

Though I don't believe it not at all
Its all i have, though its small
It'll get better, if my time I bide
This forlorn hope that resides inside

    Again, spectacular, emotional poem. Again, the flow is beautiful and the rhythm is great.

    Beautiful again! This is very easy to read as the rhymes seem to come naturally to you which is a talent. I love your work.

    Pretty good, you can improve by using "I" less. Here's my version

    I sit and wonder, sit and think
    And into depression i further sink
    don't know anything, nothing at all
    Not even how to avert my own fall

    cannot help those for whom i care
    no one whom feelings i can share
    Life seems pointless, dull and drab
    As each chance slips by, I vainly grab

    Each day it gets harder just to wake
    And these feelings i cannot shake
    finding it harder to draw a breath
    As inside i wish for death

    Though I don't believe it not at all
    Its all i have, though its small
    It'll get better, if my time I bide

    I think you should reword these, they seem to weaken the rest of the poem.
    Also, you use the word 'whom' too often. Try finding alternet words.

    Though I don't believe it not at all
    Its all i have, though its small
    It'll get better, if my time I bide
    This forlorn hope that resides inside

    hmm, this part needs a little work.
    Try placing a comma before 'not at all' and after 'bide'.
    when you write, 'Its all i have, though its small', I think it would flow better if you wrote something like, 'It's all I have, though it's rather small'.
    not bad altogether, it made good sense and was entertaning, 4/5
