I can’t hear music.
The lyrics become skewed.
Then they’re about you.
 
I can’t read.
The plots are ours.
And they’re yours.
 
I can’t daydream.
My mind is too weak.
It wanders back to you and me.
 
I can’t rhyme.
I can barely come close
Because you and me aren’t us.
 
I’m not me.

Hello Mirror. Jordin here to write a review for thine entertainment, I hope it is of some use to you in your writing.

Well... first thing first I would turn most of those periods into comas.

I must admit your riming needs a little bit of patch work.

This did not quite make sense some of it did but the majority was none senseical. I would read through it pin point the probs and fix 'm.

In other words I thought it was well written.

Keep writing and good luck.

Until later good bye.

Hi,
I really enjoyed this poem as it speaks of a lot of feeling and character that I really liked,
I myself am not a great poem writer, but as I can definitely connect with those feelings, as I expect many others will, I really enjoyed it.

I think at the end you really moved into a flow creating a moving stanza that kept me reading.

There are a few things I would like to pick up on, though,

With the first verse, you said this,

I can't hear music. - I thought for that instead of a full stop you could use a comma.

I noticed with all your verses that the first line has a full stop there? Maybe you should use a comma.

One other nitpick is that the second verse in the third line;

And they're yours.

Well, for that I don't really have any suggestions as I do not really understand it.

Thank you for posting, I thought you did a BRILLIANT job and keep writing!



You must never give into despair. Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts. In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength.
