Just something I wrote as I remembered some really bad stuff that happened to me and how I got better afterwards. Please comment, I could use the constructive criticism.

Sometimes at night
In that strange delirious half-light

I hear voices

Weird ones, pretty ones, angry ones
They whisper to me

And as I listen I remember
Of that cold and dark December

When I reached my rock bottom
All my memories of love forgotten

In the darkness shines a light
One you can’t see with normal sight

And through drowning water reaches
A hand that helps and teaches

I can swim, I just can’t find it
In my heart to live

Yet I did

And I here I lie
With my face to the sky

Listening to my voices
They speak of long made choices

But the past has gone
Now the future has come



Also I'm not sure if I'm in love with the title :? ... Any ideas?
rise and shine
and open up your eyes
to give this world some color
shine on diamond eyes
seperate the space
between love and lies

Hey, forsakin here!

I loved this! I actually read it twice, just because I liked it! :D Yea! Good job, by the way!
The first line caught me, and I didn't stop reading, which is good!
I'm not the best reviewer, but if you need anything,
Just shoot me a PM, and I'll take a look at it! I'm more than happy to review anything.

I really, really enjoyed this. From the first line I felt like I had been tugged into your poem, and it was me remembering my dark days.This was my favorite stanza:
"And as I listen I remember
of that cold and dark December."

So anyway, amazing job on this. I don't have anything negative to say, I thought it was all really great. As for titles, with such a great poem, you have a lot to work with. You could pick your favorite line in the poem and start you brainstorming from there. Just a thought. Well, amazing job and keep up the good work!
