Forgetfulness

by Christina Yap   Mar 10, 2006


It hurts to think
For I cant remember
Where am I going?
What am I doing?
Why cant things be the way they used to be?
What is withholding me?
I want to do better
I need to do better
But how can I do better when I dont know how?
Try to understand
My silent cries for help
Translate it if you must
Help me comprehend
For I cant quite grasp this lost
I cant seem to reminisce
Basic words I used to know
I no longer remember
The words I write on this paper
Are meaningless to me
Can someone please help me?
Im stranded
Lost
I cannot find my home
The home of my soul
The soul of me
And my memories
Forgetfulness has taken
My life away from me

    This poem is fairly good. Its got its feeling and all in it, but it doesnt flow that well. Try sticking with a regular stanza. ABCB, AABB, ABAB format.

    ABCB meaning the 2nd and 4th verse rhyme and the 1st and 3rd dont.

    The grass is green
    The Sky is blue
    Laying in bed
    Thinking of you

    That would be an example of ABCB. Try picking one of the formats and stick with it. You'll improve greatly. Other than that pretty good poem.
