Words of confusion

Always the bad one,
Always wrong never right,
Trapped in this society,
So close to the edge of all reason.

And you push me,
More and more,
I feel the coldness of death upon my skin,
Screaming out to me.

Get me out of these chains,
Free me from this guilt this pain,
Why am I made to watch these memories?
The button stuck on repeat.

We only want to love to be happy,
Clawing away at my skin,
Trying to find an escape an answer,
Why am I here?

One last breath,
The i's dotted,
Upon the letter of questions,
Never to see your sweet face again.

But your sweet eyes will never leave me.

Right - I'll start with thank you to you all for commenting!

KJ - the chains obssesion isnt some bondage fantasy hehe, it's because the person I am writing this about makes me feel as though I'm chained down with all the lies and hurt they have given to me over the past 2 years and I don't want to love them but I do... make sense?

The i's dotted etc - is about my suicide letter you could say or just my letter to say good bye to the one I love... it depends how you read it...

I hope thatall makes sense! and thank you for your comments as I said in my other comment on my other poem I shall go through them all when I have time!
Much love wu

dont really understand this part but i'll prob
work it out... any help here people?

again the only thing i can recommend is more
punctuation...

there are some parts where you could have
used a couple more commas, full stops, etc...

keep writin!

I like how the poem kind of jumps between metaphors and such but keeps the same theme. And I'm not sure what I think about the last line. I kind of like it, but I think revision could probably make it better...

I enjoyed this.

Apart from what the guys above have said, I actually disliked the last line, as I thought it was weak and could do with revision.

I really liked this as well. The last line brings everything together really well, and the first and third stanzas are especially well done (the first stanza really grabs the attention of the reader). Only a couple things... "trapped" is misspelled in the third line and I kinda think that I should be i in:

The I's dotted

So that you bring attention to the dotted part.

Overall, really well done. I liked it.

i really like this...especially the last line...it was really fitting and ended the poem well. however, the title of the poem didn't seem to fit with the poem itself. anyway, great poem!
