Relief
May 9, 2014
Life is like a blank page, you have to figure out what your gonna do with it, are you going to crumple it up and throw it away? Are you gonna draw something beautiful? Or are you going to write a long essay that leaves you exhausted. My life has only just begun. I feel scared for my future. My anxious thoughts consume me day after day, hour after hour, I like to go up in the mountains where it feels as if its just me, the wind, and God. There I find no thoughts, just peace. The gravil crushing under my shoes make me feel at home. There's different paths I can choose and for once there's no pressure, there is no wrong way.

This is really good! I love the topic and message! The only suggestion I have is maybe spacing..the way you have spaced it, it seems more liek a story than a poem! But other than that. great work!

This is really good! It almost seems like the begining to a story. There a couple little gramatical mistakes here and there...and for a future tip; you can use periods in a poem. It makes it easier for the reader to see the different sections of the pom, and it gives one places to pause and think. The same effect can be done when pressing "enter" after each comma. This also helps to break things up and make the flow of the poem a little bit smoother. Otherwise, the writing is fantastic and the story that the poem tells keeps me wanting more. Keep up the good writing.
