Okay, I want your honest opinions. Does this make sense? Is it really good? do you think there is anything i should change? Tell me the truth!
Swan

Lost is my heart and part of my soul,
My life is so shattered, my emotions are cold.
The core of my life is hidden so well,
Surrounded by layers of personal hell.

Secrets and dreams kept in seclusion,
My existence is no more than a simple illusion.
To have been noticed in this world and appreciated,
Would have given me a life less isolated.

They think that they really understand my feelings,
But none of them see the real pain Im conceiling.
Too occupied with their own, to care about me,
I'll wait until they fail, then I will succeed.

I'd rather be liked for more that appearance,
Like my talents, my courage, or being so fearless.
Im hoping one day, they will open their eyes,
The'll see my true beauty, my beauty inside.

And forcing our darkest souls to unfold...
And pushing us into self-destruction...."

Yes, this is a truly good poem. So don't even worry. The only thing i can see are some grammar issues but thats about it. I am not good at grammar at all, i'm just saying. Anyway yea keep posting!

Suberb piece of work. Don't you just love it when a poem pops out of the screen and speaks directly to your soul? That's what this one did. As for the spelling\grammar (which I am a nut about) it doesn't take away from the message of the poem, which is good. A few tweaks here and there and perfection may be accomplished. Once again, good work.

I forgot to mention one thing. You were describing me in that poem...all those thoughts I read have been existing in my own mind for ages...
