| My friend wrote this poem while going through depression. Tell me what you think of it. The Reason I look up at the sky And ask him why He put me through pain When I prayed in the rain Yet I sit still And cry against my will Tears fall on the ground I scream without sound I am alive yet dead Invisible blood I’ve bled I fought to the end I’ve a torn heart to mend You were wrong To sing this death song This happens every day Each time a different way Each causes tears Using dark fears Creating a prison Where no one will listen To those locked away Those pained must always pay My thoughts explode within I feel I never can win I feel like a mime Who never has time And everyone stares But nobody cares That feeling inside Tells me to hide Always wanting to run To make this all done My emotions run wild I’m like a lost child Trapped within lies Before my very eyes Sightless and soundless Mindless and boundless Unseen and unheard Obscure and absurd The reason for all The reason I fall But the reason is gone With nothing to fall on I’m a dying swam dancer Just give me the answer To the question I send Will the pain ever end? |

| Eligible for a custom title | I think the poem is alright. I do think it needs some work though. Poems don't always have to rhyme and I think the poem is too straight forward. I think she should have thrown in some other things like metaphors, similes, and more descriptive adjectives. It seems like the poem was just thrown together somewhat. Just to me it seems rather confusing. |
