please, stop!
your're hurting me.
can't you just let it drop?
leave me be.


the bruises go,
what about mentally?
i try to not let them show.
did you think of me physically?


i saw it all,
it came out of the blue.
i didnt know who to call,
i never expected this from you.

it all happened so fast.
they wanted a statement,
how long is this gonna last?
what about my placement.

forget us
thats what life does
move forward looking to bliss

was known as poiseandrationality and sinsandtragdegies but long story

*coz i've seen love die way too many times when it deserved to be alive

Hmm, this is good. I'm not completely certain I understand it... but I like it...

Ok, i liked it, it wasn't one of your best for sure, but it was ok.

i was a little confused..im not sure i understood exactly what was going on. it was a little confusing for me to read [which doesn't mean its confusing cause mostly everything is confusing to me]. .but maybe go back and try to make it easier for people at pip to read...if you want of course, because writing poetry is for yourself, for you to understand, so i guess as long as it makes sense to you its great!

[this was all over the place, sorry, my brain is crazy today, i can't get anything straight, so i hope none of this offends you]

This is where it got confusing.

What about my placement    

(placement doesn't make sense here at all, seems like you put it there just to have a ryme.

forget us
thats what life does
move forward looking to bliss


Did not get it at all, this stanza seemed weak compared to the strength of the rest of the poem. Rethink the ending, this one either does not fit the poem, or needs more to it and needs to not be the ending.  


Saw it coming out of the blue.

Saw what? You know, we don't. Give an example of what it is, the line is meaningless, if we are just reading words not knowing what is behinds the words.

Reread the poem, as many places as you can try to Show don't just tell us. That gets boring, if you show us we can picture it in our mind, opens up a whole new world of your poem for us.    

I promise that Showing not telling helps. I was told that by someone, and immediatly it helped some of my poetry(I don't post all of my poems here at Teen. The other stuff goes in CA.    
  
You have talent, Wishfull, but now there are technique things that could help. (Believe me I am in the same boat. Just trying to tell you some stuff that helped me. Believe Me , I am not at all an expert, I am learning too. )

Best of luck

i acually thought i understood except for some parts but my favorite stanza was;

i saw it all,
it came out of the blue.
i didnt know who to call,
i never expected this from you.

i thought that had a really good flow and made sense... yea not your best but it was good. hope to read more soon...
