Comments : A tribute to Emo

  • 17 years ago

    This is a really good poem David. 5/5
    Most EMO's feel like that they cant talk to people as they wont understand. But sometimes all they need is someone who they can talk to and that they wont judge them. I know cause I have a couple of friends like that.

    Any way GREAT POEM. 5/5

    I thought this was a funny poem, just because you throw the word emo out so openly. I basically have a different concept of what 'emo' means. But I understand where you are coming from. A good write, a nice tribute.

    David,
    thx for taking a stand for all us Emo kids out there, it means a lot, though I have stopped cutting almost a year ago, its cool to just write emo things and be emo. thanks for writing this, it is really inspiring to at least know someone is here for us and for me.

    The message put in this poem is really kind of you David. It's nice to see some people don't hate emo's for what they are stereotyped for, and understand some people are genuinely depressed. The flow was good and rhyming natural.
    The only critique I might have for this is to use a bit of a wider vocabulary. It always has more impact in the poem. An excellent poem though.

    5/5 from me.

    Hey dave, another popular poem i see. Hmm emos.. gotta say im not one to like em. If you feel depressed then ur not emo ur depressed. People that try to become 'emo' are not depressed otherwise we would call em depressed. Think about it. I dnt like using it as a derogitary term for people with problems. That is why i dnt like emos. Hope that makes sense. Other then that good poem

    Well, personally, I thought it was very well done. Except for a few places I thought needed some fixing up. Just minor, don't worry =P

    [{Yet} e m o ' s please hear me]
    ^^Suggestion: {Let} Change 'yet' to 'let.' It just seems more logical to me to change it to that instead of 'yet.' But if you don't want to change it, by all means keep it the same.

    [How life been so cruel
    How you want them to burn!]
    ^^Suggestion: I would try to fit these lines into 2 different ones. I know it's hard, making flow AND good rhymes, but it is possible. =P It would just help these 2 lines from going from something...to something else.

    Now that I've totally critiqued the format of this poem, I mind as well start on the emotion put into it. I see that you want to help emos. And I totally believe why you want to put forth this emotion for them. But technically, you cannot do anything about it. They brought this trauma upon themselves, and no one except them can help themselves. They have to get out of the emotional hole that they have dug themselves into. It's not your responsibility to keep them from cutting or harming themselves in another matter. =)

    As you can see, I was critical with this, but I really did like it. There was a great flow that interpreted well with this poem. Well done. =) 5/5 xoxo

    I LOVE this.
    It was such a refreshing read and the first stanza was such a great opening.
    I loved the last line I thought it had huge impact and was such a perfect ending.
    Wonderful work!

    Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! (you know that sound that you hear when the sky opens up and angels come down? well, tht's what that was supposed to sound like)

    Anyways... this is a really beautiful poem, it's so unique too! great job! there's this one line that doesn't make sense to me...
    "How life been so cruel"
    i don't get it, maybe you meant "how life HAS been so cruel, or How life CAN BE so cruel"
    that's the only thing i was confused about... so... yea, i like the rhyming and the whole message of it. i know exactly what you're saying.
    great job!

    It was nice to see a very generous poem. I like how you express your sympathy for "Emos" and want to help them. I don't really like the term "Emo". Like what Static said, if you're depressed, then you're known as being "depressed", not "Emo". An "Emo" is just a stereotype that people say they are. Therefore I looked at your poem as if you were talking to a depressed person, which made me enjoy it more.

    Very well done.
