This is a bit better, but I think I still need to work on it.


Down a darkness we free fall
Before a bullet reaches our backs,
Running from our one last call,
But we're bombarded by attacks.

Before a bullet reaches our backs ,
Smells of citrus cripples in our nose,
But we're bombarded by attacks,
Faults coming from the route we chose.

Smells of citrus cripples in our nose.
We know a living light is near.
Faults coming from the route we chose
Will run and scream with fear.

We know a living light is near,
Fakeness living in our eyes
Will run and scream with fear.
Truth reveals it's own disguise.

Fakeness living in our eyes,
Running from our one last call,
Truth reveals it's own disguise,
Down a darkness we free fall.

You laugh because I'm different...
I laugh cause I just farted!

The Pantoum is a hard form to get right so you get kudos from me for even trying one and more kudos for getting the line order correct.

If I knew what I was talking about I’d suggest that you worked on the meter – using iambic pentameter for each line for instance would remove the unevenness. Unfortunately I don’t have a clue what I’m talking about so the only suggestion I can offer is to try expanding each line to 10 syllables.

Thank you!

I'll try using iambic pentameter, but if that seems to be to difficult to do, then I'll at least expand each line to 10 syllables.
