A poem I wrote

    I wrote this last summer (I think it was last summer) after a trip to the national art gallery. Feel free to take it to pieces. I'd like to hear people's opinions of it.

    6th Seal.

    My world is burning
    falling around me
    My life is over
    but I embrace it
    I am the victim of slavery
    I have nothing to lose

    The sky is falling
    The stones are splitting
    but I embrace it
    I am the lowest of the low
    I cannot belong

    God has forgotten us
    Evil gets his revenge
    but I embrace it
    He will flush the pain away
    He will erase me.

    I like it to be honest, bit morbid though!

    Does nobody write happy stuff any more?

    I alternate between writing deep depressing stuff and writing love poems.

    I like that because it is how I feel at times.

    Good stuff.

    well, it is "okay"
    for something with such strong feelings it ends too soon...if it is meant to be "deep" perhaps you should take what you have and elaborate more.
    It doesnt quite move me, I read it without feeling that it made me think...and a good piece tends to leave you with that sort of feeling, understand?

    keep it up though, show us some more. ;)

    Thanks moderator, though I won't pretend to like criticism, it is very refreshing to get a proper comment for once - "I like it" does not constitute as a proper comment. Come on people, I can take it - why do ya think I posted it on the message board in the first place?!

    Babygirl, who is the 'He' in the last two lines?

    "ok it's ****e, happy?"

    The section's called creative writing, you could have tried creative criticism. Oh well, I'm sure you were joking.
