You are worth it (acrostic)

by UtterlyAlive   Jun 5, 2014


Young and afraid, I'm scared to fall.
Only holding on, to lose it all.
Uncertain I cling, to a broken hope,

Any day now, I'll tie the rope.
Rest comes at no low cost,
Each day I find I'm more lost.

Working for something,
Only to find nothing.
Ready to give up, ready to let go
This is it, that's all I know.
Here comes the sun, another day.

I'll say I'm worth it and then I'll stay
This is it. Just today.

    Okay first of all this poem is amazing because of the rhyming. It's very hard to rhyme in any poem let alone an acrostic. I believe this poem is great for the face of the message alone and the flow of this was stunning.

    Teenage years or being young in today's society is very difficult to overcome. And the way you wrote the first stanza it seems like you are talking about yourself because you used "I'm". It seems like you are struggling right now in the present. Uncertainly I think would flow better as uncertain. I like the line " broken hope",it flows well with what you wanted the message to be. You do have hope but it's getting harder to hold onto. This person's life is so bad that they could fall anytime now.

    I think it's very difficult to sleep when your thoughts are restless. That truly tells me you are anxious about something or you are very depressed overall. Being lost in a world that is natural. When you work towards something it gives us hope I believe and when that something is taken away we do feel lost. I have been there as well. When depression is all we know then it becomes becomes a comfort zone for us and we know no more happiness and without love and happiness there is nothing at all. And another day is all it is.

    I really thought your ending lines were wonderful. They take the readers mind for a turn and hit us hard. It seems like you are saying that you won't give up but just today and that you want to live day to day. Wonderful poem and message overall. :) 5
