With a million things to say,
my mind grows weak
I think about you all the time,
With all these words I long to speak.

With a million things to say,
now the world is correct
I've been longing for this day
Now my heart stands erect.

With all these longing questions,
you're full of gleam.
Missing my emotions,
I'm not who I seem
with a million things to say,
only one word drifts from my lips.
"Hey..."

Hello-Welcome to YWS- I'm Jojo!
And i shall be your reviewer this fine eveninginginging.
Grammar is in red .
Others are in blue.

With a million things to say,
my mind grows weak- trying to keep a constant tense here- it can get confusing.
I think about you all the time,
all these words to speak. - How about " With all these words I speak." or "With all these words you speak."? it would be a lot clearer if you specified here.

>space< New stanza

******With all these longing questions,
you're? full of gleam.- Maybe it's just me, but i don't really get what you are trying to say here. Could you clarify please?
missing my emotions,
I'm not what? I seem- Saying "who" sounds a little better. Try not to refer to yourself as a "what". Unless it's a characteristic that's previously specified.
with a million things to say,
(only?)one word drifts from my lips..
"Hey..."- This could very well be a quote( for dramatic affect).

>space< New stanza

With a million things to say,
now the world is correct(?)- correct really is a tricky word to use here. Maybe " Now the word seems just fine" or " Now the world seems..."pretty much anything BUT that word. You don't need to sacrifice content just to make it rhyme. this is a beautiful as it is. lol.
I've been longing for this day
(and?now?)my heart stands erect.

*******This whole stanza ( to me) would be better suited at the *end* of the poem*********




WITH ALL THE EDITS...

Overall, really beautiful piece.Just Make it longer. Good story line!
Just a few structural and capitalization errors to fix up, but nothing major.
Great Job!
Keep writing!

Over all I really liked it. You don't have to change what I suggested. Poetry is open for all different interpretations, not just mind. You will think differently then me, but I do really really like. Keep on writing!

Hey :) I agree with Jojo. If you edited the way she suggested I think you would have a way better poem. You're poem is great, it just needs a little fixing up. Good job though.
