Depression is me

Clouds is where my head is

Joy is what I’ve lost

Sadness is long gone

Depression is me

Darkness pitch black

Cold as my is heart is feeling

Storm with rain and thunder

Depression is me

Alone nowhere to turn

Forced to live in a world with only hate

Only me thoughts to keep me company

Depression is me

I feel it

I am it

It’s my identity

Depression is me


This World Full of Hatred

This world full of hatred

It makes me want to cry

It makes me want to scream

This world full of hatred

Every thing’s impossible to me

This world full of Hatred

It’s trying to kill me

This world full of hatred

It hates me, as you can see


Hollywood

Lights. Camera. Action!

Audition at five, I’m late

No! I didn’t make the cut

Dream crusher

Heart breaker

Bad bot type

Show biz

Role play

Method acting

Scene one take two

Lines slurred

Cut!

You can be replaced

Let me try again

No third chances


Clouds Over My Head

Clouds over my head

White and gray

Clouds over my head

Moving slow in the day

Staying still in the night

Not letting up even a hint of moonlight

Clouds over my head

Blocking the blue sky’s

Shading the sunlight

Clouds over my head


Look into My Eyes (#2)

Look into my eyes

What do you see?

Fire burning

Smoke rising

Water falling

Flames that won’t die out

Look into my eyes

What do you see?

Anger

Despare

Sadness

Depression

Darkness

Death

Look into my eyes

What do you see?


Me

Me

I am a tree

Blossoming and blooming

Tall and firm

Me

I’m a flower

Delicate and pretty

Small but brave

Me

I’m the wind

Cold and fast

Blowing everything out of her path

Untouched and unseen

Me

I’m beautiful and intelligent

I’m a young girl

I am me


I am…

I am…

A caged bird

Crying in silver

Wondering when I’ll be free

I am…

A single rose

Covered in thorns

Petal by petal I break

I am…

The sky

Blue, sad and full of clouds

Staring down at hatred

I am…

A girl

Small

Emotional

But hidden

I am…

Who I am

What I am

I am… Me.


Hidden

I am

Hidden in darkness

Trapped in despair

Burned by anger

Beaten by depression

I am

Hidden

Trapped

Burned

Beaten

Broken

But I prefer to stay hidden

Unseen and out of sight

Just as far away as possible from this ignorant world

But all I can think of is to hide

What is this?

"Smoke rising
Water falling
Flames that won’t die out
Look into my eyes
What do you see?
Anger
Despare
Sadness
Depression
Darkness
Death"

I don't see any of this actually you force-fed it down my throat by telling me what you are without any evidence that you are it. This might sound silly but I think 'I can come up with my own conclusions. It just goes on and on talking about random stuff, theres almost no point to it.

"But I prefer to stay hidden
Unseen and out of sight"

No you don't actually, you just PROVED otherwise.

Don't you think it would be better poem where you are trying *wink wink* to seem happy but you are this-- and you just tell us the real thoughts of you other then telling us what you are blandly?

See the idea is there but you need to devolpe it, this doesn't feel very honest to me.

Hey there, lyricalrebel here to review your work. This poem is awesome. Two of the facts that it has only a few reviews is because the title is not that catchy and the short description is intended to attract the readers. See, I am the kind of writer who would want a poem to attract me even though it shouldn't be like that ;)
Well, your poem is dramatic and I like it. It puts in a lot of emotions. It shows reality, how people suffer from their sorrow. Yes, I can reflect to your poem because as of now, my life is full of hatred.
A lot of people would like me to change me and when I read these lines:
"I am...
Who I am
What I am
I am... Me."
I felt at ease, knowing that I'm not the only one who would want to scream those words to the world.
The flow of your poem is good but take care of the sequencing from the darkness of your poem to hollywood then back to the darkness. Lines that will introduce new ideas should be inserted but frankly, your poem flowed good as I've said. Well, put in some punctuation marks like full stops and commas next time.
Keep writing! ;)

Hey! Great efforts! A looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong poem I must say. Though there are a few mistakes you need to correct. Why dont you revise your poem and check for errors. A few grammar mistakes. A few more efforts and it be great. All it needs is some modification and that is it.
I do not think one must write like this in poetry

I am

Hidden

Trapped

Burned

Beaten

Broken

Maybe you could take two words at a time For example:-

Hidden and trapped I am
And Burned And beaten
And Broken In Two.

Hope That Helped :D
