Coming out from the Dark

by Gone Forever   Mar 3, 2013


Crashing waves upon the shore
never will my eyes see more
than past my broken door
as my chilled body hits the floor.

Slowly does the moon
light up my world of doom
and soon all of the gloom
has passed all too soon.

I missed the blessed nights
of nothing but agony and frights
even though now everything is right
I'm still struggling with all my might.

I'm struggling to live
and to stop the relived
memories and to stay alive.
So, everyday I fight to survive.

    I love rhyming poems and I think this is a really good one. I love the way the entire stanza rhymes at the end, for some of them. And the other ones that dont all rhyme are well crafted in the way you used to rhyme.

    The only part that I think is a little loose is the ending. In the last stanza you use "to" too much. Maybe take those out and see what you can do to make it seem more natural. I mean, the verbs still mean the same without the "to" in front of them. Also helps it flow a little better.
    Just a suggestion since I am not good at poetry :P

    I like how short the lines are and the fact that it rhymes but it also flows so well. That can be hard to achieve.

    I like the idea of you sittng on a beach. You instantly get a really dull picture of a beach just after sunset and that sets a good mood and tone for the piece.
    I also like the contradiction between the ocean and your closed doors. The sea is a wide open space easy for anyone to explore and enjoy and then you sit there, looking out at it when you are behind closed doors. It almost seems as if you are looking at the ocean hoping and wishing that that could be you. So beautiful and free.

    I also like how you say that everything is alright but you miss the times when it was not and you are still fighting.
    Would you or could you expand on what you are fighting for?
    Are you fighting to keep yourself ok or are you fighting to get back to the issues and nights of sorrow that you miss?

    Other than those ideas, I enjoyed it.
