    Helpless Soul -- Comments accepted =)

    Hey there, not that i am the best of writers, or even a good one lol just those lil comments will help me out alot, so please do so if u can =)

    -----------------------
    if all the smiles of today
    decide to fade away
    then where am i to be
    far beyond being me

    I lost the little sensations
    I lost the little feelings
    Left out, shattered
    Broken, bewildererd

    Deciding on one matter
    being forced into another
    being told to be smarter
    by losing my own power

    I feel like an animal
    stuffed ina cage
    Looked at as a cannibal
    treated with rage

    I feel out of order
    blocked out of every odor
    left out, shattered
    Broken, bewildererd


    I'm a soul
    thats seeking peace
    appears to be whole
    but is a broken piece

    Frozen and alone
    lost with the tears
    looking for a clone
    but lost in its own fears

    Tell me, what am I
    if i was born
    then what is there to try
    without being torn

    Why ask me if I'm doing well
    when you made my life hell
    Why surround me
    When you desire my heart broken be

    Left out, shattered
    Broken, bewildererd
    Left out, shattered
    Broken, bewildered
    -------------------------------

    "Why ask me if I'm doing well
    when you made my life hell"

    don't you find that makes you feel so angry and crushed all at once? it does me . . .
    liked the poem, a few lines leave me a bit lost, but that's on my part, I don't think it's b/c of your writing

    That's a very interesting stanza - odors connect memories and emotion and it's the first time I've read something like that - very insightful I thought!!

    Keep writing!

    Maybe juice it up a bit with a more consistent and snappy rhyme scheme. Otherwise youve got some nice sounding stanzas in there, particulary
    I feel like an animal
    stuffed ina cage
    Looked at as a cannibal
    treated with rage
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    i like the fact that it offers no conclusion, so the reader is left thinking about the dilemma... nice...

    Some lines have a rhyme scheme, some don't. You really need to decide which you are going to use. Otherwise, the imagery is very good, and you have a nice poem there. If it were up to me, I would change to all rhyme. The poem conjurors up nice images for the reader!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...
