Spoiler
[flash=]Ok, this is my first long poem that I have ever written so...please be nice to me and rate and comment nicely![/flash]


Who am I meant to be in this life;
What am I meant to do?
This life is too confined for me;
And, I'm sure, for you.
I walk around this town so fair;
Confused and still don't really care.
Every time I look around;
I see no walls, just all ground.

Who am I meant to be in this world,
What should I truly do?
I am too confused right now;
And, I'm sure, are you.
Confusion keeps my life from me;
Confusion rules my life, you see.
I turn around and touch the ground;
And still, Who am I meant to be?
May The Blood of my Enemies Flow Like Rivers to the Sea

Hey there! This is a really insightful piece. Great job if it really is your first one! I like the repeating of the question throughout. I did run into a few rhythm inconsistencies here and there, but maybe I'm just reading it wrong. Anyway, lovely poem! I hope you continue with it :)

Hmmm....identity crises are common these days, and I think your poem captures that nicely, if it was intended to be a song. My only note for you is that your poem wasn't long, it was actually normal in length, at least, in comparison to some I've read on this site. And that isn't a bad thing! Umm...I'd also like to say that you COULD have used more imagery, but the poem is really fine as it is. Happy writing!

I think it the poem is very nice! I believe that you would be a great Phantom Poem writer. I believe that would fit you well because the repetition helps bring forth the depth in your poem.
I believe in that, which is not seen.
I call it truth, faith, hope, life.

This stanza was good. Especially the last line. Really true. :)

The poem was amazing! :D
Only one thing. I found BOTH stanzas with the same meaning. You should have given one of them a different meaning. :3

Overall: Keep it up! I like it! I'll give this an 8/10. xD

Keep Writing~!

I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

It's really good my little Wiccan, I only have one immediate concern. All of it rymes, except the first two lines. Then I can't find a pattern. So it's all over the place. But ontherwise good in that department. Then Grammer wise, I see where Choco Cookie was coming from, but it's really good as it is. I see your point, but I was kinda in and out. But when it comes from the heart, nothing needs to be perfect. Glad I could help.
We were made to corageous,
We're taking back the fight.
We were made to be corageous,
And it starts with us tonight.

And the only way we'll stand,
Is on our knees with lifted hands.
Make us corageous,
Lord make us corageous. - Casting Crowns
