First of all, I think that this poem would be better if you didn't refer directly to the person as "you"

Quote: Suffocating gloom descends upon you
Just as the dust seems to settle
The bright fades to a glimmer: End Quote

This is nice, but take out the "upon you" The dust settling and bright fading to a glimmer contrast a little to much. It is sort of like an oxi-moron.  

"And a burst of emotion passes through you soul
You begin to fall into a pattern of thought"

This seems too different from the other lines to be included in the same paragraph. It also seems a little foggy. I have trouble figuring out what you mean.

"The sense finally made
Of each beat of your heart
And each word that had passed your lip
Within the day that was"

This just doesn't make sense to me.

After passing hours
You realise that you are in this strangely familiar place
For a specific reason
Each second must be left to recall
To learn vital lessons
To heal your own reality

This one is a little better. However, you spelled realize wrong and that throws it off a little.

The rhythm in your mind
Created by your imagination
The security you will feel
Where you are safe
Will never be exceeded by the fears you hold
When you leave it
As long as you reject them from the awakening world
For you can only fear what you believe

Once again, I liked this, but it made little sense to me.

All the time you have to experience
Hold true to yourself
When you awake
You may not totally re-gain this moment in memory
But this is no reason not to make it happy
As time can never repeat.

This is good. I like this.
I think that this is a good poem, and sounds nice, but was not a very sensical poem, and seems to be intended to be strait-forward, but it was not. I think that it still needs a ittle work. I do not mean to come off harsh, but that was just my own oppinyon. if you think that I was too harsh, please inform me, because I do not aim to offend.


Never be normal!

I think u will find that I did spell Realise right thankyou very much!
Thanks 4 takin the time out to say wot u thought tho, really appreciated.
I guess really most of it may not make sense to anybody but me, but i guess thats just the way it is because ive never in my life re-drafted a poem & usually i only take about 10 mins writing them so im just lazy
Also I only been writing for a couple months so I really avnt a clue, I just try n be expressive
Thanks 4 ur time
