When Something Hurts Me

When something hurts me deep in my heart,

I find a way to distract myself from my disappointment of you,

Because I thought you were better than that.

I punch the wall with my knuckles,

And it burns, 

But it hurts less than the pain you gave me.

And it leaves me to say.

Books are better than people.

I know books make me cry,

But they also make me smile.

While people, 

All they cause to me is pain. 

That hurts me deep inside.

Your poem is quite great. I found your words simple yet, full purpose. And that, is one of the most important things in writing. At least to me. The only thing I am not fully sure about is the ending line. I don't know if you agree with me or not, but maybe you could use a more striking composition of words. Something which will conclude your poem with something simple yet, stunning. However, talent is seen in your poem, and I am excited to see what else you bring to the table.

Thank you so much for the review! This is the first time I've ever posted my writing, I was so nervous. I agree with you, I felt stuck on what to write on the last line. Even if you look at my other writing,the last line is not very good. I will work on that to improve my writing. Thank you so much!

The last line is one of the hardest to write. Keep going. Express yourself! You are doing a fantastic job.
