I’ve...

I’ve done something,

Something I’m not proud of.

4:00 am,

Can‘t sleep.

I listen to all the songs that remind me of her.

Her voice rings though my mind,

Like a strike of the liberty bell.

Her voice as sweet as an angels song.

She tells me i’mperfect.

She tells me she loves me for me.

And...

I believe her.

But all the words,

All the support,

Sometimes isn’t enough.

To gun down the demons with in.

And here I sit,

4:00 am.

Razor in hand,

Rubbing my scars.

Scars...

Scars of pain and torment.

I remember the pain,

But pain it was not.

A release from the demons in my blood.

I needed to bleed,

And bleed I did.

*sigh*

But that was then.

This is now,

And now.

Now I have her.

Shes my liberty bell,

The most powerful force.

Against the demons with in.

WOAH 10/10 and @Flumadiddle good job on being good moral support. I don't think I can say much here because everyone has almost said it all. So first off, it's easy to read, well written it really captures the emotions, the pacing is just right, the formatting is good, basically everything is good. But I've noticed "with in" and I think that's supposed to be within, not with in.
Ok, onto the interpretation, it's pretty clear, it's about you, and flumadiddle, and even though I'm aromantic, when I see cute couples, even tho I am not actually seeing you, like, genuine couples, like my brother and his gf, it just warms my heart. Not those pesky teens that agree to go out just for the sake of going out. Nah, nothing heart- warming about that. And I can see that you're very grateful for knowing @Flumadiddle, I can see it in the words, that everything was better when you didn't have to carry that huge burden alone.
Great poem,

Wordwing out

*has no idea what to say and chokes up* T-thanks Word.

Thank you so much for your review. And yes I completely agree with you that there%u2019s a difference between good couples and pesky teens and seeing a good couple is very heat warming

No problem :)

Is this about self harm?? Im just going to go with that..... This poem correctly portays the hardhsips of a self-harmer and the demons that one has within and thr fight to keep them inside. I believe that this poem has a different meaning for anyone reading it and what it meant for me was that the “demon” inside was depression and they guy’s liberty bell was the only thing keeping him safe from the demon inside (depression and self harm) and she is the only thing keeping him sane. So bravo!!! It’s hard to write about depression and mental illness but you wrote it like you were the person, like you were the one feeling these things and experiencing these things. So bravo!! 9/10

Thank you so much for your review! And yes I am the person in the poem and the poem is actually events that happened

This poem is dark, I don't find it appealing, but it's pretty well written. Something I suggest you fix though is a couple grammar points.

For instance "shes my liberty bell" You probably should fix that punctuation to "she's my liberty bell"

And when you say, "four am" It got a bit confused. At first, I thought you meant "for I am" but then I realized you must have meant "4:00 am" You might want to fix that so it's not the word "four" or at least do "a.m" might make it less confusing.

Another thing, is you wrote "a relise from the demons in my blood" did you mean "release"?

You wrote "rember" instead of "remember"

and lastly, "somthing" Might wanna fix that too.

But other than those mistakes, I think it's deep and emotional and could really touch people. Certainly you got talent, but just before you publish something, always check for those mistakes. Ok keep writing! :)

Thank you so much for your review! I%u2019ll make sure to fix those issues right away.

Hiya! Space here for a review!

This poem has an obviously dark and personal topic, referencing self-harm.This person (you or the protagonist) seems to not be proud of what they did, to have felt like they believed they could "release their demons" if they did that. It is also told from the perspective of you/the protagonist looking back on their actions, with regret but peacefulness at finally finding their "liberty bell" who helps fight away the demons. It's very nicely written, short and straight-forward, but in a good way that fits.
I have a few questions, such as what do you mean by "liberty bell" when referring to the assumed lover/close friend? The title (Strike The Liberty Bell) was a bit confusing to me at first, but I think it's a bit clearer now.

In all, it's a very well-written poem. You definitely have talent!

Good job!
