Six Months Ago

by Startle Me   Apr 21, 2007


The day of six months ago
I was all alone in my world
Locking myself in a bathroom
Sitting quietly and curled

Afraid of mankind
Mankind afraid of me
Locked in a room
With nothing there to see

Quietly sat on the corners
Reading books there all alone
Depression hidden with all force
Nothing else mattered or known

Until that one special day
Someone knocked on my door
Answer I did not
Could only simply ignore

The person kept knocking
Almost dragging me to insanity
Stranger had a key to my door
Caused me to use profanity

How dare an outsider come into my life
Without any permission of any kind
Outsider carried me out of the door
Brought me to the world of mankind

At first, detestation came into brain
There was too much sadness, hate
Stranger showed me love and affection
Showed me all depends on fate

No longer do I sit in my corner
Or read to myself all alone
For the day of six months ago
I was found in a world unknown

    Again, I did not like the opening line. It honestly did not make any sense at all. I'm sure it means something to you, but reading it, it means nothing to me. Two verses in a row you talk about locking yourself in a room, I didn't see the point. Your language seemed broken, and you seem to be lacking description. I also disliked the slang.

    "Stranger had a key to my door
    Caused me to use profanity"
    ['This' Stranger had a key to my door
    'and' caused me to use profanity]

    I'm not sure if it was this poem, or if you write like that in general, but I really don't follow it. I've seen your comments on other people's poetry, as if you knew what you were talking about. To be honest, I'm not quite sure you understand poetry all that well. For the most part, your writing is weak. However, you have a lot to write about, the deeper meaning in your poetry is there, you just don't know how to write it. I'm being completely honest with you. I'm not trying to put your poetry down, you can write, but you can't express yourself. That is what you need to work on. Your poetry has a lot of potential, I can see it in this poem. You are talking about a stranger coming into your life and changing it. I thought it was a great metaphor, when you talked about it as being at home. I shall read some more of your poetry to see what it's like. I hope you have something that will impress me. For now, keep reading and keep writing. You will find yourself maturing as a poet.

    Take care,
    (and don't take this too personally, I'm only trying to help)
