okay, in case any of you remember a poem i posted ages ago called "nightmares", yes: this piece pretty much resembles it in structure (or lack of it lol), style and starting lines. for some reason i started writing along the lines of that piece this morning, and this is what i came up with. personally i like "nightmares" a lot more, but i'd like to hear what you guys have to say about it. by the way, i'm not at all sure about the title, so i'd be glad to hear any comments or suggestions about that too. hope you like it. :)


Daylight

Good morning, day-time,
Am I once again the first
To think you’re empty
Of all that you said you’d bear?
I wish I could just lie in bed,
For there is nought for me out there;
Where people hurry,
Running up and down a lane
That leads them nowhere
And makes them quickly forget
The things they shared,
The times they cared,
The life for which they weren’t prepared;
The daylight seems to wipe their fears away
And only brightens up
A mood they falsely bare,
While they act proud
And strong as stone,
Ready to face whatever challenge
Their fake living brings along.
But am I meant
To be another of the sort,
Willing to smile on
As the world trips me
And I begin to fall?
I want to know what’s waiting for me
At the bottom of the drop,
For maybe now
The time has come
To stop fighting
And let go of my thoughts,
Becoming only
One more no one in the queue
That leads nowhere
Stealing both sanity and time,
Leaving you lonely,
Wondering why you’re left behind.

I'M SPAINISH!

I DOSENT SPLEL WEL!

I must say I love this piece. I love how you only rhymed in some areas and it kind of emphasized some things. Only one thing: "naught" is spelled wrong (Line 6). I also have expressed my distaste for the word "fake" before but I guess that's just personal preference. I just think there are so many better words that can express that meaning. Oh and I absolutely love the line "One more no one in the queue". 'sgot my vote. :)
If
If you
If you could
If you could only
If you could only stop
If you could only stop your
If you could only stop your heart
If you could only stop your heart beat
If you could only stop your heart beat for
If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart
If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart beat.

^^in fact "nought" is a variant of "naught" - therefore both are correct, only i tend to write it with an o cos otherwise the mere looks of the word makes me think of "naughty", and that obviously has nothing to do with it... :)

thanks a lot for the comment, i'm very glad you liked this piece. :cheers:
