Awakening

Darkest depths of deep desire
Walking with forgotten dreams
Seeking life as i admire
Though life is rarely as it seems

My heart is beating with the fear
My eyes are closed by anger
Shaking from the shock of loss
This life is not for me

Looking for the thing i lost
the love i felt so strong
when i look in your eyes i see
that we will never be truly free

I will be the bad guy as I often am.. And many will disagree with me too. .. Have not been on in while. too long. Also if someone gets the chance could someone crittique some of my poems I have posted semi recently

*With rhyming poems it is good to try to have the syllable count be on point, here the syllables for the first couplet are off. I would fix that. I liked the first stanza but it was very cliche. What were you trying to say by it , or what meaning did you want the reader to pick up?

My heart is beating with the fear(of what)
My eyes are closed by anger (at what)
Shaking from the shock of loss (of what,who)
This life is not for me(what life)
*

Looking for the thing i lost
the love i felt so strong
when i look in your eyes i see
that we will never be free
how about
no way that we can ever be free
?

Why can't you be free? The poem was good as a whole and you did well by keeping this simple but it seemed a bit cliche to me. Cliche is good but I think you could have made this a bit more creative

hmmm bad guy you say...well someone have to be

you ask "What were you trying to say by it"
well i was thinking of the dreams we all have of love and living togethere for the rest of our lifes...and with the syllable i dont know if i can do it better

second part speaks of feelings that i can't say if otheres have but i belive we all fear lose, and fear can turn to anger against thoughs that havent done anything and it can blind me/us to what we do and that can then bring the lose that we so feard and the shock can remove the wish to fight on for a "good life"

the last part...well fear chains me holds me from doing anything from fighting for the love that i feel and im dont think ill ever be free of that

well thank you for trying i'll think about these on my next writing
