When I Close My Eyes

by Alexander   Jan 26, 2008


When I close my eyes and fall asleep
I go to my own little world were I weep
It is easy because I know nobody can see
'Cause my own little world is made up of only me

I have no idea why it is I cry
And every night I ask the question why
But the answer is always cut out
Because that is the moment my alarm clock goes off

I mean I have a mother and father
Not even thinking about divorce
And I have an older sister too
Even though were completely different we still support each other

I have a life a lot would die for
I am the caption of my soccer team
And on the A team in basketball
I also make straight A's in school

Yet I have this strange feeling inside
Like there is a empty space
And no matter how hard I try
I cannot seem to fill it

So tonight when I close my eyes again
I know I will end up back in my own little world
And I know I will weep again
But still I will wonder why

    Again you rhymed in some place but not in others which just kills the flow. You should be consistent .. either ryhme all over or not at all. I liked how you opened it because it kept my interesting but I lost interest as the poem progressed ... experiment with some new words and liven your poetry. All in all good job *4/5*

    Wow I love it I can feel it. It crazy because for 2 straight years when I was in my room alone I would cry and I never knew why. I would ask myself is it becuz I was in a relationship that goin down but no they were different tears I was hurting inside I knew that the only thing I didn't know was why. So I love your poem I understand it and it was beautifully written. 5/5
