Ashes, Ashes… I fall down- written by Amber Diaz

My soul,
one that use to be pure,
now has
been filled with such hatred
that my heart weighs me down.

Thee has weighed me down
with their
painful words that strike my heart.

Ashes, Ashes, I fall down.

I fall down crying…
I know people’s
words & opinions
do not matter,
but if it is people
you see everyday… it hurts.

Ashes, Ashes, I fall down.

You people ruin life.
You people have ruined a life.
Thee, you all have ruined my life.




You all have weighed me down,
weighed my down
to the chasm of death!

I once had a pure soul…

Ashes, Ashes, I fall down.

I wish I did fall
to my death.

Ashes, Ashes… I fall down.

I like the ending. The chasm of death line was very poetic, dramatic, and powerful! Thanks for adding the explanation point; it adds meaning. I like the reoccuring Ashes, ashes, I fall down, but you might consider structuring the rest of the poem more. It isn't clear who Thee is here. I like using Thee, just clarify who that is. Also, painful words that strike this heart gives more emphasis than my heart (as just a sidenote revision). Anyway, overall this is great work. Powerful, passionate writing. :)
