Don't give up...

PreviousNext

Don't give up just yet,

Now that your future's all set.

you should believe in the future,

In spite of the failures you've met.

With real struggles you've came so far,

Don't let it all go in vain.

Cause all of those bruises and scars,

Bear the testament to your pain.

So just move ahead with brimming hope.

During times when you just can't cope

With all the problems at hand.

Cause you have to achieve what you have planned.

Timmy here for a quick review!!

So this was a great poem! I love how you focused on writers as your primary audience in this! You have quite the story here, and I like how it goes. Telling what happened, how much pain you are in, and then reminding the reader that there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Where there is life, there is hope! This poem actually reminds me of a song sang by Josh Groban called, You are loved, don't give up. It kind of says the same thing you are saying here!

So I will just point out a few nitpicks while I am here!

Hold onto the faith in the future, ---Maybe its just me, but that one line doesn't seem to have the flow the others do. Maybe its because it doesn't have that distinct rhyming patter the others have?


Cause all of those bruises, those scars, ---While this one does rhyme, it doesn't flow very well. A comma for me is like a mental block, a place for me to stop for a second before continuing. Having that comma in there did that for me... Maybe, Cause all of those bruises and those scars?


During times when you just cant cope ---In some poems you could get away with it, but you have done all of the others properly, so I will point it out to you. Cant should be can't


I think that sums up my nitpicks! An awesome poem! I love your story you tell and the style you have! Happy Review day and keep writing!

Hello there, have a nice day! Just a quick review on your poem.
The poem certainly inspires the readers. I like the tone of voice that seemed to motivate the reader to the spirit blown by the poet.

In spite of the failures you've met.
With real struggles you came so far,
Don't let it all go in vain.

It is written in a simple style of writing with metaphor given by the poet to the reader. Looks like a cliché, but still radiating sincerity and honesty. The poet tries to deliver all the messages with confidence; as friends and colleagues.
Cause all those bruises, those scars,
Bear the testament to your pain.

These are my favorite lines in the poem. To me it’s well written and the most convincing part in your poem.
So just move ahead, full of hope.
During times when you just cant[can’t] cope,
With all the problems at hand.
Cause you have to achieve what you have planned.

However, the final stanza still looks rough in terms of interlacing given among the lines. The impact is not as strong as the first stanza.
I think with a little improvement, it will be able to make the poem become more impressive and remarkable. I often dream of a poem that can be done in different ways and bring its own uniqueness. That is—try something new and get a great result!
Good luck and Keep it up!

The last stanza is little rough. I couldn't give that perfect finalty to the poem. But I'll sure work on it. I appreciate your help:-)

Timmyjake here to leave you with a short review!

I loved this poem! A lot of people prefer poems that don't rhyme, I don't. I like seeing that systematical rhyming pattern that makes everything flow so beautifully. You did that wonderfully!

So just move ahead, full of hope.

That line didn't seem to flow for me as well as the others. Maybe, "So just move ahead, you heart full of hope?" Just a suggestion. :D

Cause all those bruises, those scars,

Maybe that line could be, "Cause all of those bruises, all those scars." Again, just a suggestion...

I loved this poem. It kind of reminds me of a song... Called You are Loved, Don't Give Up. Great job!!

thanks for the criticism...its really helpful:D

You're welcome!!

Very nice poem! Welcome to YWS by the way, it's great here ^_^

Right, so I like this poem because it is, like you said, motivational, and it's been written with a positive vibe intended which it has.

A few little errors which are easy to correct though... :)
Can't should have an apostrophe in the third last line, and in the line...:

"Hold on to the faith in the future,"
"on to" should be "onto" as it is only one word.
Also maybe change:

"With real struggles you came so far, "

to...

"With real struggles you've come so far,"

But overall, a great poem, with a little editing, this will be great!
Good work, I'll be keeping an eye out for more of your work!

Thanks for your help...I'll be sure to make the necessary changes...
