Comments : Chaotic Mind

  • 17 years ago

    by Drusus Bathory

    My word you write like me. I have poems on my laptop that are so similar to that its scary.

    Yes well i'm familiar with the style, its close to my own. Its still refreshing to read though. The form while old still felt new and I think that the line "deadly scars and broken mirrors", set the scene perfectly for me. Even more so because like you've noted on the poem it didn't rhyme to me at all, I couldn't help liking it that way though.

    It was dark but not overly which helped it along. The use of the language was interesting in parts yet slightly over the top in others, I can't help but feel it was better off with that over the top feel in places though. Reminded me of a long forgotten actress hamming it up on stage for the slightest moment to catch you off guard and then hitting you with something truly brilliant. I greatly loved the repetition of the "chaotic mind", its placement left me thinking about it afterwards.

    Someone said it was moving, I didn't find it moving. I thought it was beautiful and although it makes no difference to anything, I enjoyed it greatly.

    I just couldn't help but laugh at the end when I sat down and thought, clearly this poem can't have come from a chaotic mind. Which is the best bit about it, the control shown was as forgiving as the line "a penetrating scream of the insane". The double meanings were very well placed and if by accident then the best luck i've come across.

    I don't think it was as emotional as these other people are making it out to be. I thought it was almost detached from emotion, it wouldn't have worked if it was emotional. The irony is I felt the person in question was as in control as the writer, not chaotic at all but prepared and ruthless. Is this about suicide? All the other comments are saying it is but I had visions of a killing spree at the end there definately not suicide.

    I wish you luck with your work and urge you not to waste too much of your time on websites like this. It will get your writing nowhere.

    So theres my two cents. I'm sure its completely the opposite to everyone elses and totally wrong. Joy of Joys.

    Hope you feel i've contributed in anyway, sure I haven't. Oh well, its very late, "Caught from some unhappy master", and all that jazz.

    Bloody cuts, a broken soul,
    A Chaotic Mind has no control.
    Hysterical screams pierce the silence,
    Reality gone, thoughts of violence.

    Chaotic mind, no memory,
    Only one thought of a remedy.
    Lovely gun, you're so kind,
    Tragic end of a Chaotic Mind.

    Wow, another amazing one. I can relate to it. Truly greatly written poem, with excellent choice of words and good flow.
    My favorite stanza is:
    -Silent screams and unshed tears,
    Chaotic thoughts and untold fears.
    Secrets hidden throughout the years,
    Deadly scars and broken mirrors.-

    You created great imagery in it.

    I believe this poem grasps the true concept and emotional undercurrent of those who have fallen victim to depression. (including myself, thanks for sharing) 5/5
