I've been roaming around.

Inspiration from the lines in the song 'Use Somebody'
'I've been roaming around, I've been looking down and all I see, 
painted face fill the space I can't reach.'
(very short)

My heart's bleed across the world, 
my tears stained the glass of every holy word.
My whispers have been lost in the speech of the crowd,
my pleas ignored for what they're worth.

Ok, this is AWESOME!! ^u^ I love the message, the meaning, the theme, the words, the feeling. . .Heck, I love it all ^u^

I love how you compleatly executed a deep and emotional poem with only one small paragraph ^u^

Aside from the little 'heart's' blip everyone bellow me found, It's perfect ^u^

My favorite line is;

"my tears stained the glass of every holy word."

It was hard to pickk a favorite line, since they were all amazing ^^

I love it, and please keep writing ^u^

I really liked this! The way you used the metaphorical imagery so well was awesome. You were able to convey so much with so little, and I appreciate that. It seems to me that the shortest poems contain the most meaning; They're not diluted with too many words.
Anyway, the only technical issue I saw, was the same one eyeofthestorm already pointed out. So everything checks out conventions and layout wise.
I do however, disagree with fairyreader; I think that pleas worked just fine for how you used it, but if you feel that you should change it that's your decision.
Overall a very good piece.
My rating: 9/10
My favourite part: "my pleas are ignored for what they're worth"

Keep it up!

This is so cute! I love the song 'use sombody'. So I decided I had to cheack out this poem even though its not my genre.
I loved the imagery used.

I like this line:

'My pleas are ingored for what they're worth'

Though i dont think 'pleas' fit. This sentence dosent seem as effective to me as the other 3. 'Pleas' just dosent seem to fit.

I dont know. As I said, this isnt a genre I know much about! I did enjoy reading this though! :) x

I really like your poem, but I noticed you have an apostrophe in the word hearts that doesn't need to be there.
Other than that, very good. I like it a lot.
