Yesterday, Today & Forever

I know now what I've been missing for days, months and years.
Tears were all dried up, and every moment is no more a waiting game.
As I look at my past, I can see why I've become so lame.
I maybe fearsome for some points, but now, I'm no longer hopeless.
Troublesome for some aspects, but I'm in no mess.
I realized I'm blessed; and every trial's just a test.
The best is coming like a puzzle-piece
Filling the lost part of the broken art;
Like a heart healing, reviving to repeat the beat from the start.
I'm no longer sad, as I've seen the brighter day waiting for me.
For I've seen the light, and I know where/what I want to be.

Hi there!

A few nitpicks:

and every moment is no more than a waiting game.


Consider adding in the bolded word.

I maybe fearsome for some points,


That should be may be. Also, what does this mean? It makes no sense to me.

and I know where/what I want to be.


Instead of the dash, consider removing it and adding in "and" so it reads: "And I know where and what I want to be."


Moving on! I liked this poem. :D I think it could be better if you apply the changes I suggested, but still, it's really good so far. I like the message that you got across clearly, and the beautiful details and imagery elements you used to show us and tell us. Towards the end, this got a lot stronger and the flow was a lot smoother versus the beginning, but overall the flow was strong and smooth.

I wasn't so big on the rhyme scheme at first, but now I appreciate it. It was a bit choppy towards the middle, but mostly, it was cute and added to the poem and made things nicer in the end.

Overall, this was a nicely written poem with a beautifully conveyed message. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed reading it! :)

Hi, Iggy! Thanks for the review. It's just my way of writing poetry. (I'm not that really good.) I look forward to learning.... :)

In the first two lines, it made me flash back to the memory of my uncle. That was what really caught my attention. The rest of it easily connected with myself, for I know exactly how it feels. The flow is a little off because it starts rhyming, then the scheme changes. Sometimes it works, and here it is something I can overlook due to the word choice. There isn't too much I can say about this without telling you something you already know or repeating myself. It was an enjoyable poem I know many will be able to relate to, like I said, including me. You are a talented writer, and that is for sure.

I feel your sympathy, Luna. Things do happen as part of life, but that doesn't mean we have to giveup. I'm happy to know that someone can relate. Thank you so much. :)

Hi, PonyzandPokez here to review your very fabulous poem! Here's what I thought,

Spelling: %100
Grammar: %95
Emotion: %75
I love the fact that you have superb rhyming and I can't feel anymore strongly about the meaning of this poem. You did a really wonderful job on this poem, no one really ever has perfect Grammar ratings or perfect emotion ratings. But this is still a great poem and I'm really happy for you since this is one of my favorite poems, I love the poem and I hope you'll write more because I trust it'll be just as good as this. Have a great day!
I hope this helped you! Thanks,
