Your Life, Your Hands (Sonnet)

Your Life, Your Hands (Sonnet)

You believed them for you thought they were wise
Giving advice that sound fine and dandy
If only you knew how their words were lies
You won't find their answers to be handy

The blind leading the blind to nowhere fast
Digging their graves for an early exit
They enjoy telling stories of their past
If you step in they don't like it one bit

A different situation the same day
They should get their own life on the right track
Don't listen to others do it your way
You will slowly start getting your life back

The person you really need the most is you
and all of your dreams will finally come true.

    I don't like third stanza it somehow doesn't fit but rest of this poem is excellent. Ending is very effective and few lines are really greatly written. I like the topic and this piece has some interesting, original rhythm. Rhyming is good except in last two lines,
    you-true is very typical rhyme and it doesn't leaves good impression in your poem.
    Anyway I like this one very much, you created great atmosphere in it and expressed your attitude clearly.

    I love that it was subtle.
    I didn't understand anything
    Until I read the title
    Then it all clicked like Shuh-bang. Lol.
    It was very well.
    The flow was nice, but not great.
    But all in all.
    I'll give you a four :]
