Concrete

It's just a baby poem, please don't kill it. :)

The glow of the moon calls to me
Like no other thing.
I contemplate escape
But there is no escaping

The night calls me
To its darkest depths,
Like a master and his dog
Playing a game of fetch.

I wish I had the courage
To do the unexpected,
But instead all I do
Is say what's scripted.

There once was a time
When I was considered the problem
Now the problem
Is that I listen to all of them.

I was pulled from my life.
Now I'm boring and weak.
Now people ask
What happened to me?

My nature days are over.
Now I'm all concrete.

I just got chills... it was so simple and plain but yet flowed so well and got the message through without sinking to any deeper depths an yeaah.. L O V E;d it :D

One little nitpick though; you wrote "There once was I time" I think you meant A time.. not I time.. right?

My favorite part was

"I wish I had the courage
To do the unexpected,
But instead all I do
Is say what's scripted."

I can really relate to that part xD

Ehm... I want to say something helpful but there's not much to say other than I loved it so.. GREAT WORK and KEEP WRITING!

That was really easy to read. I really like it. It flows wonderfully. I sort of wish I was the one that had written it. Haha. So in other words, great job.

I love this poem! I think It's great. That is all I have to say. Keep up the great writing! :D

I love it! it's one of those poems that's so easy to read! great fluency! I really like this segment the most-
"I wish I had the courage
To do the unexpected,
But instead all I do
Is say what's scripted."

Even if it is a 'baby poem' it's really good, and i like it!
