hello, since someone (rudely) told me to get my own thread here i am.

here are some poems i wrote could someone please review them.

this is a much shorter version of my original poem. tell me if you like better this way or the long way.

I Tried (the shorter version)

tried to get your attention, get you to notice me
You hardly ever gave me a glance
I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you, but
Apparently she is
Tell me what's so special about her
Obviously it's something I just don't have
Never can, never will get it
As much as I try, I'm not like her
Not even close You're to blind to see what's
right in front of your face, What always was
there and
what always Will be right in front of your nose
But you'll never know it,You're always too busy
with your girl To notice any others
But, you'll see when you finally see me
I won't be there, the only thing left
Will be my shadow, nothing else Then you'll
be sorry.


and then this one it's about what what love can do to you and make you feel.

"Love"

Love can be a beautiful thing
It can ensnare your senses
Confuse you as to which way is up
It can make you do stupid things,
Dangerous things
If you get far enough in it can control you
Make you do things you wouldn't normally do
Love is the best feeling in the world until…
It all comes crashing down
Then it's a nightmare
One you just can't seem to wake up from
You're plagued by thoughts of what if…
It can be heartbreaking
To think your not the one they want
You beat yourself up
You wonder what you did wrong
You know you still want them
But it hurts knowing they don't want you
They rip your heart out and eat it for dinner
But that's after they step on it a few times
And leave it there bleeding
For all to see
You feel so out in the open
So fragile and useless
Like the next puff of wind could blow you away
Yes, love is definitely a beautiful thing…
Until it goes wrong.

and lastly myshort poem "I hate the way"


I hate the way you make me laugh…
I hate the way you make me feel…
I hate the way I have to pretend…
I hate the way you don't even know…
I hate the way you walk…
The way you talk…
But most of all I hate the way I love you.


"I Tried"


I tried to get your attention, get you to notice me
I tried so hard, I really did
But you didn't even care
You hardly ever gave me a glance
I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you, but
Apparently she is
Tell me what's so special about her
Obviously it's something I just don't have
Never can, never will get it
As much as I try, I'm not like her
Not even close

"Oh, I tried so hard and what do I get
Absolutely nothing, guess that's it
There's nothing I can do, but wait
Around for you to come to"

"Oh, I tried so hard, yes I did
I tried so hard I made my face blue
But you still didn't come to
You still didn't notice me,
Not now, not ever, guess you never will"

You're to blind to see what's right in front of your face,
What always was there and what always
Will be right in front of your nose
But you'll never know it,
You're always too busy with your girl
To notice any others
But, you'll see when you finally see me
I won't be there, the only thing left
Will be my shadow, nothing else
Then you'll be sorry
Sorry you never took the time
To see what was right in front of you the whole time
You thought I'd always be there,
But you were wrong; oh you'll never know
How wrong you were

"Oh, I tried so hard, but you just couldn't see
I was as perfect for you as you were for me
But you just couldn't see me no matter how hard I tried
I was still invisible to you"
I tried one last time to make you see
How happy we could be
But you walked right through me
I was as invisible as can be
Just as invisible as can be

thanx for reviewing :wink: :wink:

they all seem the same to me just different words. its the same idea and feelin over an over
hell maybe its just me i dunno
and if writing is the way you get your feelings out great but just b/c you feel the samething doesn't mean you cant paint different images with your words using the same feelin
but then what do i know iv only been doin this a week

The less words you use, the more important each word becomes. In poetry, even long poems, we are using relatively few words..and that makes each word, each line, important. What you're saying needs to be distilled. You shouldn't have to repeat yourself (it is a stylistic thing that some people choose to do, but I don't usually agree with it)...it seems to me that you only have 2 lines to this poem (the shorter version) -- you're blind for not loving me, and you'll be sorry...and you just repeat the first line many times over. Each line should have it's own message.
