The Joy of Pain

In Poetry

There is coolness
The blade brings.
Helps you push
Past the painful things.
 
There is pleasure
In the crimson red.
It provides clarity
In your muddled head
 
There is control
In each pass.
You can determine
How long it lasts.
 
There is freedom
As the blood flows,
But it is only your freedom
For nobody can know.

Wow this is crazy. I really hope this isn't how you truly feel and if it is cut out who or what ever makes you feel like this. Keep writing so I can review more. If you need any ideas let me know. If have lots of ideas but none I could write like yours.

Hi aouther2b!
I'm hanorah and I will be reviewing your poem 'the joy of pain' today ;).
First of all,I would like to say well done on this poem.Your use of words is really great.
I loved this poem and liked reading it,the flow of the poem was good,you had capitals at the start of each sentence and many people would be able to relate to this.the only constructive critism I had was that you should use punctuation,but apart from that it was great ;). I would give it a 10/10.Keep writing!

I can really relate to that i truly love this.

Its really sad but it inspires me and i liked the part where its like

" There is freedom
As the blood flows
But it is only your freedom
For nobody can know "

Because it really describes how it feels like.

This is soulful poetry in my opinion. I like how each stanza compliments the last. The beginning was perfectly written, because it sparked that spark that you really need in order to convey the emotion in it. This was very well written.

Wow that's amazing you completely captured the message! What a great job, it's really well done.



Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.
