The Lake

by SmileeItsBritt   Dec 17, 2004


There was a girl that cried
Way too many tears to count
First her tears formed puddles
But then deepened, formed a lake
For all the pain she felt
To others was unknown
Her world had turned so dark, so cold
The lake she cried had froze
But she's running into a problem
The ice is wearing thin
The surface now is cracked
She has too much pain that lies within
Soon she will fall through
Her worlds turned upside down
Soon the ice will break
She cant swim so she will drown
The sins that she has made
Will pull her to the depths
Before she gets pulled down,
She'll take her final breath
When pulled beneath the ice
Her screams no one could hear
But when she went away
The lake she cried had disappeared

Please tell me what you think...

    Very wellwritten, I enjoyed it alot, not much else to say really. Perhaps devide it in to paragraphs (think that's the word I should use).

    Best wishes,

    I think the idea behind it is great..

    But the flow could have been muuuch better, and I think you should consider revising it. Some of the lines were much too long compared to the rest of the poem. And I cannot decided whether there actually is a rhyming shceme there or not..
    .
    But as I said, the thought behind it is great, and I really like how you used the lake as a metaphor.

    Very good:)

    keep it up
