I'm not looking toward tomorrow If there's no way I can have you Life's just not worth living If there's nothing I can do I'd rather burn in hell Then live without you everyday Lord, not let me live if I can't have him back Is the simple prayer I pray Seeing you with her Brings me so much strife I'm contemplating what I'll do With this big 'ol knife A gun? some wire? maybe some pills? Will take all this pain away I still love you and always will Cursed is my every waking day Sleeping is all I know For I wish that I'll not wake Not having you here with me I know my life's at stake PLEASE COMMENT! THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND POEM I'VE WRITTEN! THANKS! -Heather |

you're trying too hard to force rhymes. For example, "strife" doesn't work well in the context you've placed it in and it seems the only reason you put it there is because it rhymes with "knife". My advice is to let the poetry flow and don't worry too much about forcing your verse to conform to structure and rhyme.

I'm sure many will relate to this poem on some level, which draws attention. For a second poem, you're on the right track. I'm just mildly disturbed by some of the implications of this verse. So I leave you with a "keep it up" and a hug!

Thanks megan and chrissy youre comments really mean a lot to me. -Heather If your poem reveals what you have really thought about doing with yourself then I advise you not to look to tomorrow but keep living in the day. Life is too precious. Please don't quit. Your poetry is inspiring. Perhaps keep investing your feelings in what you write for other people to appreciate to and the satisfaction from dispensing material like this may keep you distracted from your present grief. Good work! Be Happy with these little accomplishments. You could help save someone else's life. Peter |

Well done, you obviously have a great talent for poetry
Subject matter is irrelevant to the art as long as you are understood This leaves nothing to the imagination, its raw, concise and to the point I would love to see more. Thank you |
