Bleeding
Everyone is bleeding
Bleeding their hatred over my face
Pleading
I just keep on pleading
Pleading with myself to take me from this place
Dreaming
Fast asleep and dreaming
Dreaming of my body hitting the floor
Screaming
How my mind is screaming
Screaming that I’m not human anymore
Depraved
A life of being depraved
Depraved by people whom I love
Enslaved
Forever to be enslaved
Enslaved to be watched from high above
Crying
Reddened eyes from crying
Crying out against a fathers will
Dying
Very slowly dying
Dying for the pleasure of the kill

I really like the way you formatted this, SuperSonic.  The way the rhymes ran together gave the flow a lot of work to do...

I honestly think the flow could be improved if, on your longer lines, you kept them trimmed to about three or four feet in length.  Ya know, count the stressed syllables, read it through yourself.  See when the flow dictates a move into the next line?  I felt myself dwelling too long on the longer lines when they could have been shorter and helped the flow through this unique structure.

Just my opinion.  Great writing, nonetheless.

I liked this alot SuperSonic. the flow was pretty good and i really liked the rhyming you had going. hm as for the title, i would name it something else myself, something not mentioned in the poem itself because "bleeding" is sort of expected. but thats just my opinion. great write non-the-less. oh and as for LP, i agree a bit that those lines could be shortened for better flow, but i still liked it as is.

Thanks for the advice guys! BTW just a bit of a pointless factoid but you can kinda use these as alternative lyrics to the Offspring song, 'Feelings'.

Great poem I loved it!!
I liked the flow and yeah when I was reading it it did sound like you could put it with some music and have a good song.

Write on...
