Hey, Steph, here as requested. I wanna start by saying that I adore this piece, but I am going to try to be of help.


Warrior Princess wrote:Beware of the darkness, they constantly say;
Filter emotion, and fling it away.
A doctrine of silence, a blindfold of peace,
They block out the world, denying release. The last part of the line kind of confuses me. It doesn't really have anything to do with what you said before.
Encircled by walls that they've built round their mind, When you said round instead of around it kind of threw me off. it's not nessecary to fix it, but I don't know for some reason it bothers me. Generally I don't know how it would sound better, I am just ocd...
Seeing no evil has rendered them blind;
Imprisoned in happiness, living a lie,
They hide in their safety, and will 'til they die. I love these few lines.

But still I am drawn like a moth to the flame, The only comment I have on these few lines is you drop punctuation. Before you had it set up nice, but it seems more rushed without it. I don't know if you were going for that, but if not it need be fixed.
Like a ghost to the shadows from whence it came,
Like tears of the heavens that fall to the earth,
The infinite cycle of death and rebirth
That turns in my mind and burns in my heart,
Coming together and falling apart;
I live in the darkness but live for the light,
Absorbing the sunshine, embracing the night.


Other than that I loved it! Keep up the good work.
My reality comes to a close as I once again realize that you don't love me, and even if I love you with my everything you will never care.

Hey Warrior Princess!

I'm RepublicOfCoter (R.O.C.) and I will be reviewing you dramatic poem today!

I thought it was excellent. Simple amazing! I loved how you kept the length consistent to keep the flow of the rhyming which was wonderfully done! These also contributed to how well the poem flowed. It was quite sophisticated for a person of your age. I encourage you to continue writing pieces like these. The only thing I had an issue with was the title - it sounds very cliche. Whether it is used in a poem or not, it is quite heavily used which takes away a bit of the feel of the poem. Other than that, fantastic job!


MWAHAHAHA!

This is really true. People who ignore the bad shit that happens in the world, ignore half of the world itself. To truly appreciate the light we have to accept the dark.
When you turn to face the sun, all of the shadows fall behind you.

Hey, WP :)
Pink here!

So, I think is a wonderful, gripping, amazing poem. Your imagery, your rhyming and everything was great and I really don't have anything that I could possibly mention to make this better. Then again, I mean, I'm not much of poet >,<

Wowsers! This is a truly gripping poem, I'll be honest here and say that usually skim over poems but this one I had to digest properly. The imagery was fantastic and I can't think of a single thing that would make it better.

Keep filling YWS with this beauty,

Wow. This is really deep. I love your use of figurative language and i could feel you in your writing. Very personal/

Wow, that poem is really good! My comments are in dark purple :) I'm not an extreme poet or anything I just want to help :)

Beware of the darkness, they constantly say;
Filter emotion, and fling it away.
A doctrine of silence, a blindfold of peace,
They block out the world, denying release. Denying release of what?
Encircled by walls that they've built round their mind,
Seeing no evil has rendered them blind;
Imprisoned in happiness, living a lie,
They hide in their safety, and will 'til they die.

But still I am drawn like a moth to the flame,The punctuation in these lines are a bit funny. I don't know if you intentionally left out periods? It just seems a little off to me.
Like a ghost to the shadows from whence it came,
Like tears of the heavens that fall to the earth, I love this!
The infinite cycle of death and rebirth
That turns in my mind and burns in my heart,
Coming together and falling apart;
I live in the darkness but live for the light I like this line, but the repetition of "live" feels off, If you know what I mean? :P
Absorbing the sunshine, embracing the night. I LOVE this line!
