Young Writers Society

Hey! its Kz! I am super into songs, I just joined YWS and so far, I reviewed mostly songs. Lolz. I am a singer/ songwriter so this is huge for me to get to review other peoples work besides my bff's. anyway... right to it...

"Always , I know soon I'll self destruct: What is this pain, (An inner melt)"

I think that this is PERFECT. this sounds ahmazing in my head.

"Smiling though pain and tears: The prize you've been given is not free: The price is your freedom"

(ahmazing alliteration, btw!)

This is really gud. I can't get over that. so... I want to mention that I think that If you haven't already checked out "soundofmind" @soundofmind, (fellow artist) then I recommend doing so!!!

Another REALLY quick thing...

Your lyric and ability to make the writing seem so... I don't know... not melo-dramatic, even with the content is INCREDIBLE!!!

Stay Cool and Keep Writing...
-Kz!

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night(whichever one it is in your part of the world),

Hi! I'm here to leave a quick review here!! Soo...small disclaimer, I'm not the best at reviewing songs and such, but this is for the checklist challenge so here we go, I'll try and sort of tell you what I felt from this.

Anyway let's get right to it,

If I die, light a candle

Yeah that's right I died I'm feeble

This life I realized is terrible

Remember this article

This is a real life fear

Smiling though pain and tears

The prize you've been given is not free

The price is your freedom

Lol, this is his kingdom

Save my soul Lord From fire but not my lips

My joy has no beginning

I've tried all the lean

But still my life no meaning

The last option now is

To lean to (God)

Thought of shooting myself in the head

No there would be too much (blood)

Lord help purify me like you did with a (flood)

Yes I know that sharp pain crossing your heart

That's how I (felt)

Always , I know soon I'll self destruct

What is this pain , (An inner melt)

Hello, and Happy Review Month!
Right off the bat, I have to mention how much I adored some of your metaphors. Specifically the "Lord, help purify me like you with a flood", coupled with the fact that you rhymed "Blood" in the previously line, this specific stanza was excellent.
I also really loved the alliteration you used, with "Price" and "Prize" That was extremely clever, and really helped with the overall flow!
If I'm honest though, I didn't really see how this was humorous. I almost get the feeling it was mislabeled? The "Lol" felt extremely out of place. Especially when you appear to be tackling themes like free will.
And, as the previous reviewer mentioned, your rhyme scheme is a tad inconsistent. Even if you have some great rhymes throughout, having a consistent pattern can make a poem overall more satisfying for your readers.
Other than that, though, I thought you did a great job! Belated welcome to the Young Writers Society! Keep on writing, and have an awesome day!

Hello Apehdavid2! Incoming review!

I guess I'll start with critique. While the use of humor and darker themes are supposed to clash, I personally think it clashes in a bad way. There is a delicate line of dark humor in writing, and if you cross that it comes across as disrespect to the subject. I will commend you for trying to tackle this type of writing, though.

Another thing is a rhyming scheme. I don't know if you were really going for something but in the beginning there are some rhymes in places, but it isn't consistent. But as we later go on in the lyrics, we get a more consistent flow of rhymes. It just feels slightly chaotic in the earlier portion of the lyrics, with no beat to give it context. But I could attribute this as chaos in thoughts before you passed on.

Okay, now that I'm done with critique, let me get on with praising your work.

Hello, IMK here for a review.

This poem was beautiful is my first thought. I love the emotion put into it, and I love the use of parentheses even though it confuses me a little.

Glows:
- I love the subtle rhyming even though there isn't a pattern
- The parenthesis is really intriguing even though I dont get it
- I really like how every now and then you put in a bit of conversational text, like Yeah that's right or lol

Grows:
- My biggest peeve is capitalization in the line "Lol, this is his kingdom"
- The final lines "Always , I know soon I'll self destruct / What is this pain , (An inner melt)" should be written
"Always, I know soon I'll self destruct / What is this pain, (an inner melt)"

Other than that, I think your poem was perfect. I cant think of any more specific glows, but i really love the flow and the use of The prize/The price.
