Just Stop

Again with this
No more writing
Put your mind away

Find something else
A hobby
That allows you to create

Escape
From what is hurting
Pen not another thing

Go to a different state
Of being
Not the place you're in

There is nothing for you
Miserable
Don't stay here anymore

Stop going back
To moments
That cannot be reversed

Don't let it destroy you
If given chance
It will in time

I'm asking of you, please
Just stop
Go away

This is a very interesting concept, having a poem where it has more than one message by reading only certain lines. To me, I think the poem flows more smoothly by just reading it all the way through, but I do see what you are trying to do. I have read the different lines several times and I think the first lines of each stanza seems to read more smoothly than the others, but that is just my opinion. I do like this idea though.

Good Job

A wonderful play with words. I can see you truly enjoy word play. They can present a puzzle to unwind, twist, crush, assemble in an infinitely complex game. Stay with this and become the master. I'll read more. Peace.

I really think. This is interesting, I enjoyed reading and very creative, thanks for sharing.

I had a feeling there was more to this and then I saw your note :) Interesting concept, very well done. Piecing the lines together could possibly be done more smoothly, but the message is strong all the same. Nicely penned ^_^

Very enjoyable, writing is a release for me ... As a hereditary Manic Depressive, writing keeps me sane, though it often wears me to a frazzle to leave me in the depths of depression after completing a very personal piece ... Good write ...

This is so cool!
Is there a name for a poem like this? You know, like a haiku poem, or something like that?
I loved it, keep it up!!

Alright, I'm getting a little old. I read it again, and see that it's one work of art, and cleverly put together.
