The thing that bothers me about this is the end of the third verse. Any suggestions?


I am covered
Covered in their fingerprints
Surrounded by their pain
I feel
Feel that I can never
Be new and free again

Their eyes
Pierce my soul
When I'm not looking
Their presence
Cold and heartless
Always there, always watching

They try
To make me believe
They're all I have
Sometimes they convince me
Giving in
Can't be bad

And then I am
Covered in fingerprints
Covered in lies
Always haunted
Always watched
By cold blue eyes

I think this is a good write.  you did a good job at expressing your point.  To tell you the truth I wouldn't change it.  Just let it be.  It's good the way it is.  Keep up the good work

Be yourself.  Say what you feel.  Nothing is wrong. To your own self be real!!

This was pretty good.  I liked it.  And as for changing things well I do agree that it might need a little tweaking on the third.  But that's just my opinion.  Anyway here's what I would do...

"They try
To make me believe
They're all I have
Sometimes they convince me
Giving in
Can't be bad"

That's what you have,and here's what I would change it to.

They try
to make me believe
and make me see
giving in can't be bad
for it sets
you free

Anyway I think that works too.  Hope to read more form you soon.

I don't see anything wrong with this poem.
I love the ending especially!
Wonderful!
