Please please please please please please do not mind my grammer and punctuation this is just a draft.


Who am I?


Who am I but a stranger
A shadow on a wall
I am nothing but a changer
A waiting a great fall

If off a cliff I shall stumble
I don't think anyone would care
For it doesn't matter if I mumble
In my heart there is a tear

My world is collapsing around me
Like a unfinished thesis
There is nothing to see
My feelings are merely puzzle pieces

I want to cry
I want to hide
All I want to do is sigh
No one is on my side

My story is not done
My mind is in frustration
I am not important for some
People look at me with hesitation

I wish I could be smart
Like a director working on a seen
You might as well wheel me off in a cart
For I am just an average teen

You said not to but I might as well:

"A waiting a great fall" - should be "awaiting"

"Like a unfinished thesis" - "an" unfinished thesis

"Like a director working on a seen" - should be "scene"


This is good but most of the rhyming words sound very contrived, if the words don't come smoothly and keep with the rhythm then don't bother with a rhyme scheme.

You don't use any punctuation, commas would make it more readable because sometimes the passage from one line to the next needs a break.

However, it is a very empathetic piece, i like the idea but don't try to make the poem around the rhyming words, it doesn't work.
ln(-a)=i(pi) + lna



Surround yourself with people who are serious about being writers, and who will tell you, ‘Hey—you can do better than this.’ Who will be critical of your work, but also supportive. And who will not be competitive in a negative way.
