Walking the Wasteland (Poem)
I write poems a lot so I decided to show you this poem I just now wrote called "Walking the Wasteland". Constructive criticism welcome.
Walking the Wasteland By: Gabrielle (AKA Angelic Remains) I wake up everyday Nothing new Nothing to do Anxiety perched on my heart Waiting to blow up at any moment On the outside I seem fine On the inside I'm screaming for deliverance Save me My motivation has crashed down My wings have ripped apart My world has turned dark Shine some light Upon this dark fate I'm running in the dark No light ahead Demons taking over Tears stain my path Ice burns my fingers This world is cold and meaningless Jaded and corrupt Beaten and cast aside Everyone turns into zombies Their corpses walking this wasteland forever Blood stains my face My arms My lips My feet My fingertips Beaten and cast away Jaded and broken No one sees The tears I cry Even when they're right in front of me Blind and detached You let me break You let me die inside You never noticed The tears I cried You saw it right in front of you Yet you just smiled and walked away Insane Blind Sadistic You heard me screaming You heard me beg for help You heard me say I'd give up Yet you still smile And walk away Beaten and cast aside I walk this wasteland No motivation No help No love No one can help me For this is my cross to bear No matter how much they want to They give in too easily To lies Their minds can be changed so quickly To believe I am the one at fault I am the only one Who will be able To save myself From the one who smiled and walked away From the one who beat me and cast me away From the ones who broke me From the ones that give in to lies From everything I fear You smiled... At my pain... You smiled... And walked away... From my pain.

Re: Walking the Wasteland (Poem)
Wow, this poem is really thoughtful in it's deepness and introspectiveness. It starts out in a literal sense or reality, and shifts into the deeper and truer figurative world, or the wasteland, and keeps changing from one to the other throughout the poem.
It contains so many facets of thought from the speaker, that it leaves a truly deep impact on the reader. The painting of the wasteland is nearly as horrific as the thought of traveling through it alone. The speakers suffering seems as if it would be too much too bear.... I was wondering, is the wasteland a depiction of the inner turmoil of the speaker relating to the outside world and all its people, or one of the loneliness of the speaker from everything else? And, is the you referred to in the poem relating to a single person, or the world who turned a blind eye to the speakers suffering? Thank you. I'm sorry, I don't really have any constructive critism, I can't really think of any better way of writing what you have written. |

Re: Walking the Wasteland (Poem)
The wasteland is as you said, a depiction of the inner turmoil of the speaker relating to the outside world and all it's people and the "You" referred to in the poem is the world who turned a blind eye on the speaker's suffering. Thanks for the question.
