It kills me to know that there is nothing I can do
to this feeling I shall not subdue

My heart is in pain and sorrow
but the reason I don't know

Boredom is dominating my day
contemplating in my bed I lay

Don't ask me why
Because to you I will just lie

It's not hate I have for you
and this is not about you

From outside you see me smile
you don't realize that this is in my style

Holding everything inside
taking all the things in my stride

Wishing for wings ...
to fly
unlike us human beings
who can't try

Left alone I want to stay
to cope
to understand my fragility
to hope

Hi, I'm new here. This is the first poem I saw. I related to this so much, you really spoke to the reader and your audience and you should be proud of that! The only problem was is that you spelt lie wrong (you spelt it as lye). Thanks for the great poem and I'll keep my eye out for more of yours.
Im the best :)

Boredom is domintaing my life
but I am trying to take it in my stride

Although from outside you see me smile
Deep inside me I want to cry

Don't ask me why
Because to you I will just lyeIt should be lie

It's not hate I have for you
and this is not about you

Left alone I want to be
and understand my fragility


Hey there. I like your poem. It's a good one. You misspelled lie. Anyway, it's a good poem and keep writing to improve it.

Good luck and keep writing,

I had some issues with the rhyme scheme. You have couplets, half of them rhymed, the other half didn't.

Doesn't rhyme, but it seems like there was an attempt to rhyme.

Nice opposites, but no rhyme.

I doubt that counts as one though. That's just repeating what you said.

Now if you weren't trying to rhyme, you have permission to hunt me down and tell me I'm wrong. I just thought that it was a bit wacky.

However, this does not mean that the poem wasn't good, because it was. I liked it, just the rhyme scheme got to me.
