She’s teaching me a lesson

First she leaves me without a word
Stranded inside and on a deep canyon
Without a choice I have to face it all
Right now I can’t even think straight

My mind is boggling with questions
Why did she do this to me? I want to live
It’s a test, isn’t it? Some test and with failure
I suppose I will surely die

No more of this, the canyon is taunting me
It’s growing larger and I shrink
The sun will set forever and the moon won’t rise
There won’t be anymore light; none that I will see
Everything will be taken for granted and that means
I have absolutely nothing to fall back to

If I die alone learning my lesson then so be it
Would anything be able to get worse?
If I returned to the land above the canyon
Would I be recognized?
Or would this just be another case of an
Escaped depression


Not my best, but did I ever have a best? Anyway... just had to write something, my own awkward silence was killing me.

This seems a little...sloppy. There's no structure, which is fine, as it's free verse, anything goes. It just didn't sound like it flowed in my head. However. The first line grabbed me, the pace was fast-perhaps you could split some lines, make the pace even faster to match the narrator's rapid, rambling thoughts. I didn't get it but you seemed to have written it for yourself, so it doesn't really matter. I don't know how you could explain it further anyway. Because I don't get it in the first place, hehe. Well I have a vague idea. Anyway I'm rambling now. Not bad. Not bad.
Matt.

I'll be straight, i've no idea what made you want to write this. Whatever it is i wish i could help.
Bit morbid.
We get off to the rhythm of the trigger and destruction. Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill. We are the hidden fist of the free market.
We are the ink, we are the quill.
