~Gory Answer~


I hear it every minute
I run to the nearest door
It is infinite
Directs me to the moor

The sounds of lachrymose
A blinding wall above the ground
Let me through
It is what I have found

To bleed my whole life away
It's self-inflicted
Just to Stop Myself
From being addicted

The entropy of it
is being unused
Unavailable, like the decadence
of being in muse

The fine edge
slowly sinking in
But quickly rapping
against the layer

And indefinably
The fluid exits
And leaves adesign
Just a little memory

And still there voices won't stop
They won't attend t what's real
What's Right, just what's not proper
But still repeats the gory answer

Even though I am still at the moor
The door Disappears
But the entrance remains

If only those vibrations
only inside me
will only move no more

The entrance be taken
but the way out
is there

BLIFFFT! I like reviewing stuff like this, so let me hit you up with one! Let me give you my impressions:

I think one of the qualities of the piece is its cool rhyme around. However, the scheme may be a bit of a problem to the understandability of the piece. I think the tone and mood hopped about here and there. Also, I can't take one concrete concept from the piece. Maybe it's because you alternated much on the narration. For example, on one stanza, you were talking about something rapping then you go to layers then you hop to entrances. I dunno if the focus is you, or something else; I dunno what is 'it'.

What I like though, is the use of words like 'entropy'. These kind of words rock the piece up. Although, there are some which don't work much, like lachrymose. Lachrymose is not very effective because I can't imagine any sound from teardrops.

Technical Stuffs:

To bleed my whole life away
It's self-inflicted
Just to Stop Myself
From being addicted

Too many capitals.

And indefinably
The fluid exits
And leaves adesign
Just a little memory

Should be 'a design'

Even though I am still at the moor
The door Disappears
But the entrance remains

Small d on disappear.

LAST NOTE: Try to add some punctuation. It's harder to understand if there aren't.

You can do it! I believe in ya! Good luck :)

Hi there!

I had trouble really understanding what this poem was about. My first suggestion would be to add punctuation. Punctuation is extremely helpful in reading poetry since it tells you where to breathe, where to pause, and where a thought ends and a new thought begins.

My other suggestion would be to make the ideas more concrete. Like I said, I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the problem. I think part of the issue might be that it's in first person, and you're probably writing about something very personal. So, you might know exactly what you're writing about, but I don't. Keep in mind if you're writing a poem for others to read, they need to be able to know what you're writing about, why the character is depressed, etc.

That's the best suggestion I can think of at this time :) The other thing you might consider is to use more description over all, not just feelings. How do things smell, taste, sound, look? Adding those senses to a poem can give it so much strength, but being that I couldn't really understand it, I can't really give an example of how to apply that. Best of luck!
