Hello all,
This is my first post. I am new to online forums to share my writing but have been writing for a few years now. I just turned 23 years old and I have shared my writings with friends for quite some time now. However, I feel  their feedback has been lacking somewhat. So I now turn to forums where strangers who are completely unbiased can give me their opinions. This will probably be my first of many postings and I look forward to any responses, positive or negative. Thank you in advance.

Put this in your mind
Try to rewind
To the last day you felt complete
Remember the feeling?
When your heart hit the ceiling
Now remember when it hit your feet.

Is there a change in a choice?
Is there a scratch in your voice?
When you think, then start to see
That the choices you made
Made this feeling fade
Or, do you blame destiny

Why all the reasons
Their always in season
Things are not destined
It’s a chain of events
That never relents
Why is this not questioned?

Were you in control?
Well let’s take a stroll
On a trip down memory lane
Did you ever shout?
I mean laid it all out
On someone just trying to explain

Did you ever react?
Before you took a step back
Put perspective on a situation
All the hurtful things
Spontaneity brings
Can lead you towards isolation

Every word you say
Every choice you make
Will, alter your course
Watch what you do
Life’s determined by you
And not some outside force

To hold onto the feeling
Hold on to the meaning
Of what, made you complete
Don’t reside
Just knowing you tried
It’s a challenge you have to meet

You've got some wonderful phrases in your poem and I like the rhyme scheme you used. I usually read poetry for the emotional feel of it and don't feel quite up to critiquing someone's work. But I do think you have talent! I look forward to reading more from you.

And welcome to Passions! I hope you enjoy your time here!

Welcome to Passions.

Talented is an honest critique.
We gather here to release our innate gifts, articulate emotions and practice our art.
Your entrance poem was thought provoking, well written in rhyme and imagery...and made ripples through my brain with it's wisdom.
Liked this...write more.
