Locked Away

by LitxUpxWithxLife   Apr 13, 2008


It's hard to just sit here and write these rhymes,
When I know other's are out committing crimes.
I'm helpless to stop this never ending madness.
The things that create greed, anger, and sadness.
I want to fix it and put an end to this pain.
But I can't, so I do all I can just to keep sane.
Maybe one day it'll be different and I'll have more power.
So until then I'll just stay locked away in my tower.

    Gives you something to think about from what is going on in your society every single day of your life.

    And to me this seems like that common princess theme. That's cool.
    Maybe one day it'll be different and I'll have more power.
    So until then I'll just stay locked away in my tower.

    This is a really interesting poem! I love how you say so much with so few words - that it real talent. I love the meaning behind this poem.. how there is so much going on in our world but there is no way we can do anything about.. as if we are locked up

    There is something holding us back from helping people.. and it is just the way life is.. we just feel so helpless...

    Great job writing about this. I really enjoyed it and your word choice, flow, and rhyme were great.

    Maybe one day it'll be different and I'll have more power.
    ^^Amazing line. It's such a great thought isn't it?

    Nice job. 5/5 =) Keep it up and thanks for the comment!

    WOW! If only we could all the pain, suffering, and crimes that take place outside of ourselves.

    I really like the message behind this and the genuine emotions that scream through to the reader.

    This poem was excellent; however I see one little flaw. You wrote:

    "Maybe it'll be different and I'll have more power.
    So until then I'll just stay locked in my tower"

    I think you should say "Maybe one day ....."
