Life's A Bitch

Doors are for slamming
Pillows are for tears
Teddy bears are to cuddle
The thoughts I always hear

Scissors are to cut
When no one seems to care
Music is for peace
But emptiness is still there

Sleep is to let go
And all I have are dreams
Just for a little while
My life isn't what it seems

Love is what you want
Pain is what you get
Unbearable to the heart
Harder is all it gets

I agree with pilot, this poem does have a way of conveying certain feelings. Minding that you effectively fulfuilled the basic goal of poetry, which is expressing emotions, this piece is a great accomplishment.

Wow, it actually nails 90% of my issues :D

It rhymes well in most places, and not much grammar to fix, mainly because it's a poem.

Here's my favorite stanza:

"Love is what you want
Pain is what you get
Unbearable to the heart
Harder is all it gets"

I really liked it because it summarizes the poem well, as well as ends it neatly.

Great job :D
