                                                                                       14
                                                           BY: Landon Bauer

So many emotions racing rapidly through my mind
So confused cause I’m running out of time
Feeling things no 14 year old should feel
All these things are sending me reeling
All these things I shouldn’t be feeling

Doing things no man should have to do
Trying to do more than I can handle alone
It’s so hard on me I feel like I’m going to break
This may not look bad but it’s not a piece of cake
All the things I’m trying to make

Trying to fit in at school hey that’s not happening
I’m like an outcast that no one wants to talk to
Trying to concentrate but so many things are racing through my mind
So confused cause I’m in a bind
So messed up inside of my mind

Well, this is how I see your rhyme scheme, unless I'm missing some internal rhyme scheme pattern I'm not sure I understand how yours works; perhaps you could explain your intent for me, unless you were simply trying to break the monotony of A, B, C, C, C by throwing in the first stanza, I'm not sure what you were doing. I do have a suggestion though, and please don't take this wrongly. I think you need to be a more specific in your poem. You talk quite a lot about your "thoughts" but the reader isn't given a good idea of what those might be. I believe it would enhance the poem if it wasn't so generic in it's descriptions. I did like that you had an analogy in there; it was a good idea to have a comparison of your life to cake. Unfortunately I can't give this a rating, I wouldn't know where to start. I enjoyed reading this piece and hopefully I will see more of your poems in the future.

I was going to comment on the same things stargal did  but she wrote it first. Lol. Use more imagery and go into more depth.

Like the topic man. But Stargal was right. Rhyming scheme wasn't at its best. Try to work on it a little. And Rhia I think his imagery was fine. I think  there's a fine line between just enough imagery and killing the poem with it. Good job Landon.

Actually, I didn't mean to say the rhyme scheme was bad. I wanted to know why he did it in this particular way. I know many poets will change one stanza in a longer poem to rid the monotony. I didn't feel it was necessary in this poem because it was not of a long nature. And also because when it is this short, it's a little harder to see there is a pattern unless you pay close attention.
