So many pity lives
Being shot and stabbed by knifes
Shouts and screams in the battle lines
But I mostly hear the explosions of mines
Sad to hear that lots of prayers die
Even though we pray to the heavens up high
But it doesn’t matter to me because I will see you

Don’t you quit on me baby
Cause I will return
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Somewhere around nothing

Men grab your guns its time to go
Sometimes my heart hangs low
Even though I know
If I will lie
My soul will to the heavens up high
Sad to hear that lots of prayers die
Even though we pray to the heavens up high
But it doesn’t matter to me because I will see you

Don’t you quit on me baby
Cause I will return
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Somewhere around nothing

I will see you
I swear I will fined you
Why are we born to die?
Fly to heaven higher and high

God!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn I can’t figure the question
I am full of frustration
Why we have to go

Don’t you quit on me baby
Cause I will return
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Somewhere around nothing

Don’t you quit on me baby
Cause I will return
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Somewhere around nothing


I will come to you

Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost

Somewhere around nothing

Reminds me of someone who is going off to war, and telling a loved one how they will come back for them. Also, how you're telling them to wait for you and not to give up on the hopes of your still being alive. I loved the poem/song, and will definatly read more of your work. The only thing wrong with it that I found is a few mispelled words. Other than that, it is fine ^^

The reason why I wrote this poem it is that I want to know why do we have to die even when people beg THE LORD to save their loved ones.

Hello,

I REALLY liked this. It holds significant meaning. It could be sung, but most poems could be sung as well. Not that they would all sound good, but your poem would. To me, this piece sounds sorrowful and lonely, yet gorgous and full of thought; it's beautiful. It's like your looking for something...answers, maybe, to questions you've stressed over for a long while. It's really a beautiful piece :D

More people out there should let their words speak to the hearts of others, like yours did to me.
Great work!! cheers! :)

P.S. Keep writing! You're amazing :D

Some spelling mistakes..."knifes" should be "knives". apart from that, this first part is pretty good. I did not like the last line, though, it sounded too much like a part of a conversation than a written piece. Maybe change it to "nothing else matters, because I will see you"

Don’t you quit on me baby
Cause I will return
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Somewhere around nothing

Men grab your guns its time to go

If I will lie
My soul will to the heavens up high

Good repetition of heaven; i like that in the first stanza, the heavens was used as a positive hope and now its used negatively, almost as a smoky illusion - a delusion, almost, of the people in battle. the contrast between low and high is used well. again, the last line is choppy and needs to be changed.

Don’t you quit on me baby
Cause I will return
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Somewhere around nothing


I did not like the stark change from returning and being lost. if you think that you will return, then you need to be more certain of your words to your lover. saying that your soul is lost does not convey this.

I will see you
I swear I will fined you
Why are we born to die?
Fly to heaven higher and high


"fined" should be "find", otherwise the meaning is completely different. good repetition of heaven once more, now your thinking is postive again even though the third line is negative.

God!!!!!!!!!!!


What?

Damn I can’t figure the question
I am full of frustration
Why we have to go


this stanza does not make sense. it sounds like your whining rather than pondering the deep question of life. if nothing else, i would change the way that you say it, although the idea is present and i can tell that the theme is very present too.

Don’t you quit on me baby
Cause I will return
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Somewhere around nothing

Don’t you quit on me baby
Cause I will return
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Somewhere around nothing


repetition of a whole stanza is unnecessary. i didn't really get an image in these two stanzas of...anything. it was like your just talking but not painting a picture of what's happening. the "somewhere...nothing" might have worked in providing a picture but youve said that too many times in the previous stanzas, so it loses its punch.


I will come to you

Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost
Sometimes I feel that my soul is lost

Somewhere around nothing


hmm, okay. somehow i feel that you originally wrote this as a song, maybe a rap. if this is really supposed to be a poem, then dont repeat the full stanza so much, it gets uninteresting; however, it would work well for a song.

in general, i liked the idea though and i enjoyed reading about life as a big battle...haven't seen that metaphor in a while.

This seemed a lot like a mcr song and I really liked it. A few things, though:

I will see you
I swear I will fined you


Shouldn't 'fined' be 'find'?

And also the plural of 'knife' is 'knives'.

Yeah, I'm a nitpicker =).

Loved it, though, keep writing!

Hey, I have to agree that it sounds more like a song.

About the first line "So many pity lives", were you going to mean "So many pitiful lives"?

Overall, this was not bad. It's sounds like a 'rap' to me.

Keep writing!

I wasn't exactly sure what point you were trying to get across but I liked the lyric/poem thingie alot. I felt like I could actually sing it, but with my voice not so well lol. I love how you wored everything but I think you may need to slow down with the whole rhyme scene. Don't force it, most songs don't even rhyme the really good ones. Now I wasn't sure if it was suppose to be soft beacused you talked about seeing someone again and heaven or screamo because yopu talked about people dying. Anyways I loved this it was great and sorry I wasn't much help but hey, that's just me. Good luck and keep writing, PM me if you have any questions or comments.
