Finally Over

by Brittany C   May 26, 2007


Caught in the fight
of right and wrong.
Never sure of who
might get hurt in the end.

Living in the fear
of what might come.
Always unsure
of where you'll go.

Trapped in the vortex
of good and bad.
Wanting to escape
from dark reality.

You turn to drugs.
Popping some pills
and shooting up
when ever you can.

Then you finally escape.
Having gone too far.
Well now you are free.
Did you get what you wanted?

    Ooook!

    I like it! Spicy!

    I love the first stanza; it was certainly the strongest. It said a lot, it was creative, so on and so forth.

    I didn't much care for the middle because the first staza was so good, but I LOVED the ending. It was absoultely perfect.
    yeah.
    perfect. =]

    The way you spelt this in my forum...
    It was "Finely Over"
    I was like.. hmm.
    Either Fire's being creative or she spelled it wrong.
    When you changed it, I just laughed.

    Your first stanza?
    Although it doesn't look like it.
    I thought it was..
    Perfecto.

    I love your format in this one.
    Easy and smooth.

    I don't like the use of good and bad.
    Because in my eyes, there is no good and bad.
    There is only thoughtful decisions and non thoughtful ones.

    The drugs?
    A wonderful twist, m'dear.

    Your last stanza?
    I just didn't like that he died.
    Wanted him to live,
    I wanted to see his everyday life.
    Not the day where he dies.

    Although it was close to perfect.
    I really didn't like your ending.
    4, my dear.

    Gone to far = gone too far

    did do get what you wanted? = did YOU get what you wanted?

    I liked this poem, and I finally figured out that you have to read the poem straight throughout and not look for a rhyme and there is the flow! I'll go back and read your other poem with this newfound knowledge. I enjoyed your use of words, and despite my last comment on the last poem I read of yours, I do not think this poem is at all cliche. I liked your talk about drugs, and I have known many people who have had the same problems.

    I find that you could have gone farther into more detail... the poem seemed to just skim over the overall "deal" with drugs... You merely touched the surface. I suggest you do some kind of sequel that goes more in depth.

    Well written,
    5/5
