Tears to roses

by Tessa   Jun 15, 2007


Dying on the inside
Living on the out

Planning for the worst
Hoping for the best

Planted in the heat
But growing so cold

Falling, going down
I must go up

Swimming to the deep
Never reaching the shallow

I'm living in correction of all my errors

What happened to the girl I used to be???
I used to be so happy

Now, I live in sorrow
Please, turn my tears to roses

    Great poem (n_n)
    I like how you used opposing ideas to show how you feel..
    I do that too sometimes..
    Thought it may seem short and simple, it actually has great depth and meaning in it..

    Keep writing!! 5/5

    By the way, here's my version of the poem's ending..

    "Now, I live in sorrow..
    Waiting for tomorrow..
    Crying as each door closes..
    Please, turn my tears to roses.."

    Check out my other poems.. I'm sure you'd enjoy them as well..
    It'd be great if you could tell me how you prefer them to be..
    It's always interesting to see your own poems from another person's point fo view (n_n)

    "Now, I live in sorrow
    Please, turn my tears to roses"

    These were my favourite lines. Sometimes it gets to a point in life where you have changed so much, you look in the mirror and dont even recognise the person staring back. The power is in our hands to change, to be the people we really want to be, and to learn how to shine. Great poem

    Take Care.

    Same here. This poem is really beautiful, because I used to be happy girl all the times. And now whats happening to me? ive changed but i rather go back to be happy girl. Now, im in the darkness for now. Yeah it sucks but we will have to work to change ourselves back to normal happy girls again. Believe me. I'm trying to be happy inside and outside because i just cant take it anymore to be sad. SAD! SAD! SAD! sorry but i hate to be sad just like you. life goes on but we gotta change ourselves to go back to normal again. Live, love, laugh

    Very good topic, I truly can say! You might want to break this poem up into stanzas, but that`s your choice. The line I liked the most was:

    Please, turn my tears to roses

    So many things ran through my head when I read that. Keep up the great work! A full 5!

    With all due respect,

    In the title I think this poem would be better if you changed the slang 2 to the real word. Other then that I liked the emotion which was portrayed I think you put it in well with depth and made this a touching poem. Well done. Good effort~mel
