I'LL END UP WITH A BLADE

I'LL END UP WITH A BLADE

A Poem by afra

Graves of memories are present inside my soul

Hopes are drowning through the scars and holes

Which are made by the arrows of lies

Every day I wake up to watch my dreams die


I cover myself with a smile

And show that I am fine

Life is moving fast

But I am still living in the past


Maybe I am too slow

Or maybe I am against the flow

When your life becomes a lie

How can you not wish to die


As I watch all my dreams fade

I know I'll end up with a blade

"may be i am to slow ,
or may be i am against the flow ," - to should be too. And maybe is one word. If you stick with "may be," is becomes an incomplete sentence. "It may be that I am too slow," would be correct, for example.

"graves of memories are present inside my soul" - Great first line!
The title alone is pretty frightening and speaks volumes. Keep working on your craft. You show a lot of potential.

This is a huge contrast to your other poem I'll Rise Soon. Very dark and depressing. I love the words and phrases you use, but I still think it needs some punctuation.

Maybe "Memory graves are present in my soul".
It cuts verbosity. The last couplet is infallible. It's the crux of the vignette, and it's well-executed.

This is a nice poem with a dark message of some of the feelings in life. There had been times in my life where i can very well relate to this poem. Thank you for the read.

The rhyming in this is perfect. Great work. I wonder what would happen if you inverted some of the lines that rhyme: "I am still living in the past/ but life is moving fast." Just a thought. All in all, this is well done.
