Darkness Within

Oh so deep.
This dismal basin.
Oh so bleak.
My darkness within.
I scream, I cry.
Blood covers my skin.
No matter how I try,
I can never win.
The battle is too intense,
too immense.
It lacks all sense,
all pretense.
Yet it continues,
festering in my mind.
Someday in you, too.
That day your sanity cries.
Then dies.

Cherry Blossom boy thingy is a butt who will die alone with a thousand cats.
Xenoz-It's totally amazing, you really shouldn't be so "self-critical" as you say. And yes, I know that's really hard to do. I am most definitely my worst critic.

this ain't poetry
it completely lacks structure
find a new hobby

if the word "epic" was carved into 100 foot high obelisks and carried on the backs of a million men from one end of the earth to another,and erected on top of mt.everest ....it still wouldnt describe how awesome this poem is

Comment by Snoman: Oct 25, 2009 11:53 pm
lol cherryblossomman is well... ignorant lol ^^ this poem is good Smiley whether or not you actually wrote this in 5 minutes is completely irrelevant, it has a nice flow...

The battle is too intense,
too immense.
It lacks all sense,
all pretense.

it really picked up there and it went from a good poem to a WOW poem

simply put i really enjoyed this
Comment by drifting: Oct 26, 2009 2:06 am
I like it. Well done! Smiley
Comment by blakeb717: Oct 26, 2009 4:36 pm
Fairly decent poem. Grade: B

Negatives:

-A tad too one-note (no solution is given to the problem described, persistently negative tone)

-Rhyme scheme is a little wonky

-Lack of imagery (more elaboration on the battle theme would work)


Positives:

-Nice use of pauses, gave the poem a dramatic feel

-Good rhyme words

-Deep subject is well described (emotion)

-Distinct style

-Addresses the reader
Comment by Xenoz: Oct 26, 2009 8:18 pm
hm, thanks for the feedback man. I agree on the negatives except for the one-note part. I dont think theres anything wrong with having nothing but negative. There doesn't need to be a solution. but, thanks for the feedback.=)
Comment by Elizajh: Oct 27, 2009 11:36 am
if you wrote this in five minutes i'd love to see what you could do in a longer time period. this was amazing and makes me want to give up writing poetry all together. ***goes and deletes account*** nice work and keep it up. i can't wait to read more.
Comment by deadinside212: Oct 27, 2009 5:03 pm
wow this is extremely good
Comment by dyingroselost15: Oct 27, 2009 5:34 pm
amazing! i crave more!
Comment by Xenoz: Oct 28, 2009 8:19 pm
@Through: Well, thanks=) I'm glad you like it. And, yeah, I'm very self critical, even tho everytone tells me I shouldn't be. It's not really something I can change, haha. I never think what I write is any good until MANY people say so. And, since I've only been writing poetry for...4 months? i find it hard to believe people aren't just humoring me most of the time.
Thanks for the compliment tho!=D

Can't even find the right word to convey how amazing, words just don't hold enough value.
