Half-Empty

Half-Empty

A Poem by Ross Emerson Realino

When all of your dreams are falling apart
When all that you love are breaking your heart
When all of the stars are fading away
Somewhere, somehow you'll find a way

When nobody knows that you are there
When nobody seems to even care
When nothing to say but "How's the day?"
It's time to sleep in a lazy day

When they try to tell us we're too young
When they try to shout and cut your tongue
When they try to kill you while you play
Run and utter what you want to say

I think the pathos you convey in this piece is excellent. As a poem it needs some crafting. Rhyming poetry can lead a new writer into the trap of writing into the rhyme. In other words finding rhymes and trying to fit the narrative to it. Try free verse for a while as you obviously have a talent able to capture emotion and convey it.

Wonderful words to describe how we feel unnoticed in this vast world. It does seem that sometimes nobody cares. Well written piece. Darling.

About
I used to try writing songs before but I can't make one, so I tried to find something where I can put my early works of lyrics. Until they were turned into poems. I started poetry when I was 16 years .. more..
