Loneliness is More So A Disease

by Kitty Kurse   May 15, 2012


The lonely screams and taps against my head
As I'm exploded with migraines that feel like needles,
I reach out for comfort but no one seems to be finding me.
I'm not understood even though I scream out my thoughts word for word
Because trust issues arise; fears envelop from past mistakes that keep occurring.

    Its an okay poem that can turn into a great poem. It just needs more time to fully create the image in the reader. :)

    I really like the idea and theme of this piece. But I feel it was a tad short. After reading, instead of being "Yes, that's right." or "Hm.. she is right", the reader is left confused.

    "The lonely screams and taps against my
    head"

    This seems more like a filler, and it doesn't seem like a good introduction. Plus, it doesn't connect with the next line. I think it's somehow cut short (it's a long line, I know) but it lacks an idea or something that will make it stand; it needs something to hold it steady.

    "As I'm exploded with migraines that feel
    like needles,"

    Okay, this is an okay simile. Needles are okay, a little imagery, but show us more. They connote pain, show us more pain.

    "I reach out for comfort but no one seems to be finding me."

    See? Instead of emphasizing on that pain, that simile you used, you jumped ship. You changed tone and abandoned that fairly good line.
    And 'to be finding me' is grammatically incorrect. '..to find me' shorter, and better. Less is more.

    "I'm not understood even though I scream
    out my thoughts word for word"

    Perhaps the most un-poetic part of the piece. 'I'm not understood..' is grammatically correct but it shifts the tone a bit. Choose your words carefully. And 'word for word' didn't quite fit the atmosphere.

    "Because trust issues arise; fears envelop
    from past mistakes that keep occurring."

    Weak ending. It came out more of a preaching. There was a persona in the beginning, I just wish you've kept the persona until the end, it made the piece more alive.
    Don't be discouraged, I see a lot of talent but you need to be more consistent. I'll be checking more of your work, keep writing

    Once trust has been broken it is hard to get it back. 5/5
