*K, well I dont really know where this came from..its kinda weird. But this all must have been just floating around in my head or somethin   Enjoy..or try to haha

-=Day By Day=-

Pulling from every direction
never showing relief
Clawing at my imperfections
ruining my self-belief

Lazily knocking me down
mind games take heed
Trying to keep my head up
in this sea of greed

Blinded by misery
in this self-absorbed world
Fighting the past
yet struggling to look forward

As nightfall tires my weary eyes
my mind's finally at ease
'Till morning sheds her light
dangling life in front of me

Very good...
I love how the rhyme scheme kind of fell apart throughout... made it seem more relaxed, and suprisingly i didn't even notice until i read it the second time.
Nice impact, but I especially loved how you did the format.

oh, what's wrong sweets?  I knew something wasn't right when we were talking.  The poem shows it all...your feelings, there's hate in it.  And usually hate comes from sorrow.  Hope I'm wrong, but I'll talk to you soon ok?

"dangling life in front of me" ... nicely said
I like what you said in the last stanza
Great poem

Great poem... I really liked the first few lines:
"Pulling from every direction
never showing relief
Clawing at my imperfections
ruining my self-belief"
It makes you wonder exactly what you're so unstable about.

That's a great poem. I really like that. Rhyme Scheme and all that, it doesn't matter. there's too much stress on technique, and not enough on content and result. This is true for many things, thinka bout it.
