    Eh, this may sound stupid, but every now and again I log parts of my life in poetry, so no one understands what really happened but me, just want to know what you think of this one I'm 17 and male, just so you see what kind of stage in my life this is coming from..


    We where angels

    We where angels, you and I,
    Non Deceptive, Angelic, Clean and Joyous,
    But, I strayed from this happy place,
    And like a curies child you followed me
    Into a world of tears and despair

    You couldn't belive it, for your eyes shone only with innocence,
    A beauty incapable of understanding pain and sickness
    Well, I am darkness and I am shame
    I am what you despised, but you never new it
    Knowledge is a curse, ignorance is bliss

    You are my strength, I am your pain
    Return to your world of angels I say
    But you refuse and stay

    You posses something I can't fadom,
    Friends are a cruch for the weak....
    If so, let me be crippled.

    There's nothing stupid with logging your life in poetry, I do it all the time, it helps save your sanity and can also be enjoyed by others...You need to use a spell-check through, otherwise it will put readers off!

    There's nothing silly about doing it whatsoever. I find that the best way to sort out my own head is if I put it down in poetry. For some reason it makes things clearer in that way.

    You should really proof-read your work though, even though it was good, there were a few mistakes, which niggles a bit at me.

    Did you mean "We Were Angels"?

    If this is the result of logging events from your life in poetry, then keep doing it. I thought your poem was amazing. Ok, there were some spelling mistakes but anyone with half a brain would know what you ment when they read it.

    So, well done. Keep posting. Look forward to the next one. ;)

    I quite like it. It flows nicely and the theme appeals to me.

    Spelling is horrendous though. This might seem really pretentious but I feel the need to correct it for you.. (gets out red pen :D)
