It has been a while since I have been on here because I have been working on getting my novel published, but this is a poem I wrote recently about some ridiculous things that have happened in my school.

What world do I live in now?
Friends are enemies
The ones I love have left.

Everything that I once knew has disappeared,
Consumed by the greed others have around me.

Taken by souls who have no courage
only a sickly cowardice that has grasped
my core.

Where I live
What I am
What I know is lost
trapped in another realm
a better place
that I cannot escape to.

I have been betrayed
and thrown aside

Burned and beaten

Buried alive by shades
I thought to be my kin.

Now what am I?
What do I have left?

What I loved most
stabbed me
And left me to bleed
out on the floor.

What my passion was
left me to die.

Now I wander alone,
lost in this world,
Angry
Enraged
Confused

Asking simply
Why?

This is my favorite part of your poem, why? I believe that is has emotion to it, detail. I think the way you ended your poem was a great way. Simple, yet questioning. Lost in this world? Well aren't we all?

If you have any questions or comments feel free to PM me

This is a strategically well-detailed poem. I like how you appeal to the emotions of an empathetic reader. The ending was G-R-E-A-T. A question always leaves an inquiry after you are done reading. Why do we find ourselves lost in this world sometimes? Maybe because we are deficient of a world fully ours. Very good elaborated indeed. Congratulations.



I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
