Sometimes in Life

by Rosan


There are times I want to run away
leaving everything behind.
For once hoping to be led astray
from those that constrict and bind.
 
At times I cry in desperation
about those worries of mine
caused by the people of the nation
who try to keep you in line.
 
Wanting to be intoxicated
isn’t something I regret.
Things that make me suffocated
are things I wish to forget.
 
I wonder why I put up with this
and not let myself be slain.
Should life be truly left as it is
when there’s nothing worth the pain?

Hey there, wordsandwishes here to review.^^

I have to say I really love the meaning of this peace, the way you show giving in as a form of freedom. It's unique, and I like it. The voice in this piece is also very well done, the reader can clearly picture in their someone questioning what they live for.

Your grammar, punctuation, layout, and all that nitpicky convention stuff is all good. I can't really find much to criticize here, I really liked your rhyme scheme too, it's nice and subtle and natural; It doesn't sound forced or out of place.

Overall, a good, solid piece of poetry.

My favourite stanza:

I wonder why I put up with this
and not let myself be slain.
Should life be truly left as it is
when there’s nothing worth the pain?


Awesome finally.^^

Keep writing!

See it is a little jumpy I am wondering what it means. :?

And how could a you have problems about the nations people, it does not make any sense to me what are you saying? :]

What do you mean here by?

OK I am sure that you had a reason for every single word but I am just not getting it.
