My greatest fear

No one knows, 
no one knows about my worst fear.
The fear that would kill me if it came true.
I act like I'm strong ,
I act like I don't care,
deep inside there is this one fear, my kryptonte.
It is my greatest fear, the one to push me of the edge.
My heart is held togeather by stitches and rope.
My spirt is like a paper bag in the wind.
Deep inside my soul is a darkened, black mass sliceing me apart.
I am broken, used, and destroyed.
Yet I am still held togeather with stitches and rope.
My worst fear is losing it all.
Having my life fall apart like a shadered window.
That is, and will always be, my worst fear.
So if you happen to find a key to my heart,
use it wisely, one hurtfull move and I will fall apart.
Too many times have I sat and watched myself slowly get picked apart,
too many times have I mended myself togeather again.
I'm through.
One more break could kill me,
So, with my heart on my sleave,
I begin to open up, one more try.
I just hope my greatest fear doesn't kill me.

Indeed, this poem is disturbingly realistic, and I find mmyself believing it, although with a little doubt, but that is not the poem"s fault. But I would advise you to attempt and utilise greater vocabulary, and have a little more care regardimg the wodds you choose and where you place them. This is a poem, after all, and sGould be constructed with great care, or at least reivised so. But I have personally enjoyed it.

This poem seems very real, and raw. There are a few mispelled words that you can fix so that it doesn't distract from your poem. Mispellings like spirit, kryptonite. "of" should be "off" in the 7th line. Also in the 6th to last line I would maybe capitalize "too" so that it's like the other lines.
I really like the imagery in the line "Yet I am still held together with stitches and rope." The ending is really nice, that there's hope even with all the fear. Keep writing, and I hope you have a great day!!

You can do away with typos like 'togeather', 'shadered', 'sliceing'. The poem itself is heartfelt. What I see is raw emotion in your words. You've written what came to your mind. That's a sign of a good poet. :) Cheers!



My spelling is wobbly. It's good spelling, but it wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.
