Goodbye Stranger
They say blood is thicker than water
but not blood I never knew I had
Where were you for all those moments
when I was desperate-needing you-sad?
You failed your only task
and I have the privilege of suffering
How could you be so selfish?
My rage is sweltering
I needed you then
I don't need you now
You're a stranger to me
yet familiar somehow
We get one chance in life
as fair as it may be
Why you toyed with my heart
will always be a mystery
I've roughed it on my own
You can't recognize these scars
Don't expect to come back
When you've made yourself so far
I don't think I'll miss you
I don't really know who "you" are
I don't care what happens
This is quite bizarre
Have a safe trip down.

That was very deep and touching! Very angsty, very teenage, but good! I'm not sure if it was based on real life experience or fiction, I won't ask, but it had a very real feeling in it. I am truely touched by this. Very good job at reaching out to people. Happy writing!
This is a nice poem. It was interesting in a depressing manner, and it had a good amount of feeling in it.
I feel that there could have been a bit more imagery, though, and some places did not flow as well as others did.
So mostly punctuation.
Great poem!
This is a really good poem, I enjoyed it a lot, though it's a depressing matter. I just have a few questions about the wording I wanted to bring to attention:
I'm not sure if that's what it was supposed to be, I mean, this is poetry after all, word play is entirely legal here.
Your poem is so intense and deep and then this line kinda knocks off the serious tone you had built up in the rest of the poem. I know it's hard to get certain words to fit in poems, but I think this line could use a little altering.
I very much like this piece a lot though, regardless of the things I pointed out. Like SubjectBlue said, keep writing!
I don't know what brought you to write this poem, but I am touched and impressed.
The rhyming was great and the words emotionally moving.
I truly enjoyed your poem, but I think it should be in lyric poetry, but i could be wrong.
Keep writing.
