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

[Luther Seahand]

That's cleaver, four poems in one. At least that's how I see them.

Very very unique... I am glad you posted the instructions. I have never seen anything written like this before.
