The Wanderer

I wandered aimlessly,
Always looking,
Never stopping.

When will I stop? I asked myself.
I didn't know.
What am I looking for? I asked myself.
This I did know.
I was looking for peace,
I was looking for happiness,
I was looking for pleasure.

Some days I found what I was looking for,
Some days I found the opposite.
I would look upon the way,
The anger,
The sadness,
The depression,
And I would shake my head and move on.

I know this world has good and bad attributes
But why do the bad ones seem to clog everything?

Because of humans.
We have started Global Warming,
We always have wars,
We always have anger

Every day I want to give up,
But I trudge on,
Looking,
Seeking,
Wandering.

I would say "... shake my head and walk away" here!

Everything else seems quite interesting. All in all, a nice poem!

LOVE

I really understood what you were saying. With all the bad out there, it's nice your still looking for the good.
I can definitely relate. Nice poem. (:

Thanks for being the first to post in my WRFF!
The poem was lovely and opinionated. It really shows your view on the world and I like it. A few nit-picks here:

1:
I wandered aimlessly,
Always looking,

I feel like that "I would wonder aimlessly" should end in a period.

2:
When will I stop? I asked myself.
I didn't know.
What am I looking for? I asked myself.
put quotes around "when will I stop" and "what am I looking for"

3:
I was looking for peace,
I was looking for happiness,
I was looking for pleasure.


I feel like you should make these all separate sentences and end them in periods.

4:
I know this world has good and bad attributes
But why do the bad ones seem to clog everything?

Comma after attributes? Or period? Its up to you, but there should be punctuation there.
Off of that there should be a period after this vv
We always have anger


I do believe that is it! Lovely poem. I like the structure and the relatability.

Your hesitation suggests you are trying to protect my feelings. However, since I have none, I would prefer you to be honest. An artist's growth depends upon accurate feedback.
