Six
So simple
Little issues seeming so big
The big picture seeming so small
Caught in a daze,
But content nonetheless.

Five
Simplicity wanes
The path encounters a dent
One less smile to be had
A tint of grey,
a duller world.

Four
The hardest blow
Everything is falling apart
The earth beneath is crumbling
Standing petrified,
fearing the outside.

Three
Another cut
So inferior, in a rut
The pattern is worn
Meaningless,
carrying on.

Two
The inevitable
Always expect the worst
Never hope for anything
Smiles all gone,
Scared sweat turns to tears.

One
An attachment
A twig holding up a bridge
Destin to break and fall
Caught in a daze,
Full of self pity.

You are alone.

Untill the very end we don't find out who is the subject. Incorparate that in and the first bit doesn't seem to have substance. I read it and say O.K this person has form but what are they writing about? What is the message they want to convey?

It's kind of meant to be put so when you get to the end, the rest can be put into perspective. I don't know how I would go about adding the subject in the beginning, either way.. Oh, and it's about my wonderful little group of friends I had last year, who all left one by one. There were six of us, go figure. :P

It bothers me that the lines in "three" rhyme. change that?

I like the idea for the layout, that is altogether a grand idea to me. I don't like the vocab. Expand that. Twig holding upa bridge struck me as the best line. Continue to rework the rest, this poem just needs some time and patience.


Good luck with poetry!

Ah, I do realize now the vocabulary isn't very elaborate. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. And the single rhyme bothered me at first too, but I figured nobody would notice. I'll change that.
