Do you ever wake up on the verge of tears,
Screaming on the inside, facing your fears,
Watching the demons use their shears,
Ripping your heart out as the enemy nears?
Have you ever died and lived through this many lives,
Living in harmony, dying with the knives,
Trying to stay in a realm of zeros and fives,
Staying alive with all these rules and drives?
How many times have you been killed,
Crying out for help, lying rest for the skilled,
Flying through the self-proclaimed depression that I build,
Dying in a mess of blood for lands untilled?
Can you keep a secret when you have these daggers,
Stabbing into you, causing awkward swaggers,
Taking a hard knock life to the staggers,
Skipping the charade, just wanting to have her?

Hello there. I hope to give a fair review. Even though a lot has been said before, I hope I can be of help.
The main part of the poem rhymes, and I love poems which rhyme. I don't think that rhyming is something which hampers your will to write poems, but rather it is a way to make a poem interesting. About the poem— yeah, it was a bit difficult understanding the meaning of the poem, but the way you presented it was great. Superb! I haven't read any poem with such a pattern. I loved the way that how the tone and a little of the meaning changes with the repeated lines. This was what brought beauty to the poem. A good poem.
OK, this was the most fascinating yet bizarre poem I have ever read. Can I just say, I love the fact you rhymed. It isn't often that I find a poem that rhymes so thank you. Any way, back to the review.
I enjoyed this. It rhymed, (as aforementioned) and the words flowed easily. However, the meaning wasn't clear. I was confused for a while, but then thought back to the times where what I was feeling came near to what this poem is saying and it began to make sense. For those of us who ave not struggled with having an overwhelming darkness inside them this could seem confusing and highly depressing. Don't take this the wrong way though, I loved this. Your meaning just needs to be a bit clearer.
I love that you repeat yourself! It drives the message home and helps the reader really connect with what you are saying. I thoroughly enjoyed this and hope to read more from you in the future.
Thank you
