E - Everyone

Stay Away

I am explosive

Don't get up close

I might hurt you

I'll hold back these blows

-----

I am harmful

Please don't come near

I might lash out

It's just the fear

-----

I am at odds

Please go away

I can't control it

Don't try to stay

-----

I am hurt inside

Please don't come over

You can't stop the pain

Don't come any closer

-----

I have no control

Just get out of here

Because you won't stay

You'll just disappear

-----

I can't hold it in

You need to leave

Life has stolen my sanity

And then gone on to deceive

-----

It pours out like a river

Go somewhere else 

I just can't keep it in

I'd rather hurt myself

-----

It feels like a knife wound

But now you're gone

You're safe from me

And time drags on

-----

I no longer control it

Because it controls me

But if you won't get hurt

Then really I'm free

-----

I let it bubble and spill

I don't try to bottle it

But you are not close

So you will not get hit

-----

Life will take it's toll

And probably will fail

But since you are safe from me

I'm free from my self-made jail

I love this poem! I love the four line stanzas it really show separation throughout the poem; each one tells a different story. And each of those come together to form a very well flowing poem. Only thing, not a biggy, in the line that says: "It feels like knife wound." You might be missing an 'a'. But all together great poem. Job Well Done!

*derpy voice* it feels like knife wound

Thanks! I hate when I forget to type words :D

Hi there!! I am not that good at making reviews and this is only my second one so it wont be that good sorry.

Now to start I would like to say that I agree with EverWinter when it comes to word choice. The poem was very good, but the words you used made it looked a little dull.
Also, is that it seemed to me that you tried really hard to make this poem have a constant rhythm.
My advice would be to use your own words, not make them all end with the same sound. Just make it sound that you mean it.

But I really liked this poem, and the title was perfect.
It was an attention grabber. I love it, keep writing!

-P.W

Thanks for the review!

Well, for your second review that was actually really helpful.

Thanks again!

Hey! EverWinter here for a review!

I think your poem was written very well. It had a nice flow and the rhythm was superb. I have a some word choice suggestions for you though.

"I am explosive" to "I'm an explosive"

"I'll hold back those blows" to "I'll hold back these blows"

"I feel harmfull" to "I am harmful"

"Please don't get near" to "Please don't come near"

"Don't try and stay" to "Don't try to stay"

"Don't come closer" to "Don't come any closer"

"And then gone on to deceive" to "And then tried to deceive"

"It pours over like a river" to "It pours like a river"

"I'd rather it hurt myself" to "I'd rather hurt myself"

"So you're safe from the hit" to "So you will not get hit"

"I've been released from mental jail" to "I'm free from my own made jail"

Those are the only things that I would suggest. It really is quite good, it just upsets my reading with those few inconsistencies. It was great! I loved it!

Ever

Hullo EverWinter,

Thanks for the review, I appreciate it! Those are some pretty good word choices, I will admit that I was having problems finding the rights ones, and I will edit with these!



Nouns can verb very well actually, they verb better than some verbs do.
