You Found Me

by Krista   Feb 4, 2009


Mindless scribbles in a margin,
eyes vacant of hope.
Fighting through pain,
succeeding, but failing miserably.
Digging into a deeper hole,
you pulled up my hand.
You helped me out,
sharpening my dull vision.
Helping me through lies,
holding through the pain.
A mindless scribble has meaning,
hope for eternal bliss,
you found me.

    I really enjoyed the first line here. Most of my poems start out this way, so it really caught my attention. Reading from the first to the second line, the flow was a little off, but I love the way it kept on the subject.

    I really love the second line as well. This was such a mature line for a younger writer. With just a few words, you managed to set up a huge background. This line reminded me of a shirt I had when I was a kid; the picture was a skull head. It reminded me of a normal head, but huge sunken in eyes.

    In the 5 / 6 lines, i love the imagery, but I would suggest changing DIGGING into SINKING. DIGGING is a good word, but reminds me of someone actually performing work (like a little man with a shovel). I think that SINKING is a little better because you can sink without actually doing anything physically.

    I didnt like the YOU PULLED UP MY HAND / YOU HELPED ME OUT lines. I thought they could be combined into the same line: You took my hand and pulled me out". Using YOU twice in a row kind of killed the flow for me.

    A few lines dow, the HOLDING THROUGH THE PAIN did not make much sense to me. No one wants to HOLD onto pain, but rather push through it. Maybe try saying: "Guiding me through the lies; helping me through the pain".

    Overall, I really liked the poem. I would add some blank lines between every other line to help seperate the stanzas. The first time I read it, I thought this would be a great choice for a Formed Poem, where the words are shaped inside the picture.

    Great job!
