Its been quite a while since I've submitted anything here in the forums. I just haven't been in much of a writing mood I guess. I wrote this a couple of days ago after going through a few things.
Like I said, it's been a while since I've wrote so this is still in it's draft stage. Tell me what u think. Thanx.

Losing Control

My world is spinning;
The walls closing in.
I've arrived at a crossworld;
The right way unknown.
Reaching out for guidance;
Grabbing nothing but air.
Stumbling in the darkness;
Crashing to the ground.
Begining to weep;
Tears flow freely.
My whole world is spinning;
The walls are closing in,
I'm losing control.

As long as you get up again and try to gain control and not give up is all that matters. Stay strong and keep your head up

So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.

Nice poem, and good to see you back. Do yourself a favor though, try to regain your control as soon as you can. You let life get out of control for too long and it is hard to come back and be the same person you used to be. I'm living this right now. Good luck

Nicely done here..........I thought it was a bit of a desperate write. Basically in the sense that you were in this mood of desperation....I liked it.

Exactly why I hate drugs... I'd better be in control. Sometimes, you just don't know what to do, and it's scary. Nice poem.

Great piece, since I don't believe that I have read anything else by you before. I have to agree with everyone else, that losing control sucks, but you will get it back sooner or later. Just keep your head up. Keep up the great work.

It worked nicely. Add a rhyme to it.
You'd be surprised what it does for the flashiness of the piece.
For this one I'd say abcbdefeghihj or something.
Maybe even interlock. The line size and form of the poem makes it seem like it should have this.
Just a revision idea. Good job, either way.
And yes, her name is Carly.

haven't seen you around here much, but I like this much. It really sort of speaks to me kind of in a way, well, great job.

I wish people would stop telling me that I can do anything I want to. I never thought that I couldn't.
