I want to fade away
Were I can think no thoughts no more
Were I can feel no feelings or senses
Were I shall escape this circle of hell
And gain eternal peace
Were I shall no longer disappoint those who surround
But most of all
Were I can truly be free
Free of pain
Free of guilt
Free of fear
Free of all the feeling which consume me
Just belive and you will acheive!

For me this falls apart once the personal static enters. A splintering effect not uncommon in most beginning writers' work makes itself felt. It's all in the title.

I doubt if greater poetic sophistication can save this.

The poem revolved around a theme that we all naturally feel and had common words to match. After reading, I didn't really feel like I read something more than words. It could be a good base to something larger if you want to rewrite.



I hope I’ve never been quoted, tbh
