Inner Turmoil

by Marc Ortiz   Apr 19, 2007


Standing alone behind the crowd's shadows
Staring at the time hoping it would fly
Writing nonsense on my wounded left wrist
People around making me feel unwelcome..

The sky is as dark as my shaggy hair
The sun is cold like my shattered heart
My life is hopeless like my love story..
There is no more hope! In this filthy world!

Everyone seems to live a lie each day
Everyone lies and talks behind our back..
Here is a friend asking if I'm alright
"I'm fine." (It's too late to stop pretending..)

They will never understand my feelings..
They never tried to understand my heart..
Angel of mine please descend and save me
And when you save me.. Please stay with me.. Please..

    Topic's cliched but it's alright. I really liked the imagery and basically word choice. The first stanza was truly gripping. Not a genuine favorite topic but it's okay because it works with the imagery. Some emotional aspects follow through. Not the best but not the worst for this type of topic. Still it's a good write with a nice sad current throughout the entire piece.

    You should really add some punctuation into this.
    It would turn this into a pretty darn good poem.

    First stanza?
    Very relatable to me back in the days.

    Second stanza?
    Loved the two lines.
    Second two lines?
    My life is hopeless like my love story..
    There is no more hope! In this filthy world!
    Um... really, really dramatic.
    But very poetic, actually.

    Everyone seems to live a lie each day
    Everyone lies and talks behind our back..
    You said "lie" two times.
    Maybe you could change it?

    Umm..
    Really dramtic, my dear.
    And also, really cliched.
    I loved your beginning.
    It's relatable to me.
    But asking angels for help usually means
    Asking angels to take you away.
    At least it does in my mind.
    Correct me if I'm wrong please.
    All in all.
    This deserves a four.
    No more, no less.
