My promise

by simply mee   Jan 15, 2007


There\'s a message in my mind,
got to open up my road.
once its open, i can reach up
to where no one can tear me down again.
impossible, a word that hung on to me,
but i would like to try
to forget all that was dealt in the past and present
maybe what brings in the future,
is when i can trust and believe again.
it may take some time,
but i promise myself
i\'m my own possession
i\'m my own voice
i\'m my own whole.
they may say it takes two to make a person whole,
too bad i don\'t capture the specialty in that
many and so many are like the same.
wishing i wouldn\'t think this way
my eyes are like seeing villains everywhere
each and every one of them seem to pour me down
all the way down to a cold pit
that\'s why i have to push myself
over the top
that\'s where all this chaos in my damaged heart can heal
maybe that\'s the time where all i see is good again
that villains aren\'t what they all come out to be
i know some of them have the light to heal
not just mine, but many others like me.
for now,
i\'m just gonna be free
no need for anybody but me
and i\'ll be my own reflection.

    Okay, the first thing that I noticed was that all your "i" were not capitalized. They should be because it is proper grammar.

    Also, it would read better and look better if you separated your lines instead of just jumbling them all into one huge paragraph.

    Try separate a equal amount of lines into each stanza, that way it will be much much easier to read.

    One other thing, I think you could add more punctuation in places, like more commas, instead of just leaving it blank for a couple of lines. This also would make it easier for the reader, so it wouldn't confuse them at all.

    "There's a message in my mind,
    got to open up my road."

    Second line: To me, it would read better if you change these lines to this:

    "I have to open up my road."

    Just my opinion though, do what you wish.

    "once its open, i can reach up
    to where no one can tear me down again."

    First line: "its" should be "it's".

    "impossible, a word that hung on to me,
    but i would like to try
    to forget all that was dealt in the past and present"

    Nice emotions of what you truly feel.

    "maybe what brings in the future,
    is when i can trust and believe again.
    it may take some time,
    but i promise myself
    i'm my own possession
    i'm my own voice
    i'm my own whole."

    Good wording choice here, nice work.

    "they may say it takes two to make a person whole,
    too bad i don't capture the specialty in that
    many and so many are like the same."

    Instead of "don't capture" I think "didn't capture" would sound better.

    "wishing i wouldn't think this way
    my eyes are like seeing villains everywhere
    each and every one of them seem to pour me down
    all the way down to a cold pit"

    Good simile, very descriptive and vivid.

    "that's why i have to push myself
    over the top
    that's where all this chaos in my damaged heart can heal
    maybe that's the time where all i see is good again
    that villains aren't what they all come out to be
    i know some of them have the light to heal
    not just mine, but many others like me.
    for now,
    i'm just gonna be free
    no need for anybody but me
    and i'll be my own reflection."

    Straight from your heart, that's what I like most about this poem, and your true thoughts spread out here. One other thing I noticed, sometimes there were lots of words in one line, then in the next there were only a couple. This ruined the flow for me and I think you could work on that quite a bit.

    4/5 from me, just go back and look over this again but otherwise I enjoyed it.

    Take Care And God Bless You!
