The light penetrates and the dark swallows
I have been consumed now
Moving in endless autonomy
Piece by piece number by number
I am now the king’s jester
Only used at his leisure
Trapped in a wooden coffin, with nails shut
I have yet to mature but am stuck in a rut
A cubical hermit; the class room clown
My face exhibits craven stone frown
I keep pretending
That in this world I am blending
That the wounds are worth mending
Every moment of every day
I feel bits of my soul fall astray
And anger chokes my airway
Every moment I obey

I don't know....Don't take my words as truth....but what I've seen in your writing, it seems that you are close to a break through. You have potential to be a great writer, but you are struggling with how exactly to express yourself. But what you are expressing is real, and has a quality of depth, insight into yourself that I appreciate. A lot of these vesus are pretty good, but almost really good.

I don't know if what I just said relates with this verse, but it kind of sounds like it does. What rut are you talking about? My only advice is to give up on rhyming. Screw it. It isn't important, in my opinion. A poem doesn't have to rhyme. And I think that when you try to rhyme, you in turn, conform to a certain style. You put yourself in a box. Rhyming a lot of the times holds people back from saying what they want to say in the most creative way. Give it a try. I think you could write some really amazing poetry. |
