New Beginning

A big section of my life is done,

but another one is about to start.

 

This time, I am with no one.

Yes, this is how it always starts.

I am willing to look for new friends,

Especially ones that I could go to in a time of need.

 

With memories from before,

I hope to encounter new situations

with the knowledge that I have.

 

I hope to strive in all I do,

find what I am good at.

Also, to hope that I find people

that love me for me,

not just because I'm smart.

 

I am excited, nervous, scared,

there is way too many emotions

to describe my feelings

 

All I know for sure,

that this is a new beginning.

I wrote this quickly, so tell me if there's anything wrong with it!

As a poem...I'm not sure. Some of the lines are too long and complicated, which contributes to an uneven feel. But it would make a nice short story. Human relationships are always a popular topic. And I like the verse about using 'memories from before' to handle new situations. When we consider the future, sometimes our feelings are a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Keep on writing!

Considering you wrote this in a short time, you've done a fairly good job. It is clearly obvious, no offence intended, that you have rushed through writing some of the lines. Some lines are too long and make the poem sound uneasy, others are placed just right and compliment the poem. There are a couple errors regarding use of grammar in this piece, but nothing that can not be fixed with a couple revisions. Great job.

I had many re-start in my life. I decided I was in the wrong places and begin again. I like the positive feel and thoughts in the poem. Good to look at change with a positive view. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

It sounds like starting over is taking a leap of faith. I like the way you describe that

Fantastic!

[Melody]

I agree with Sketcha I think you should cut the 3rd line. Other than the poem is spectacular.

[Persona]

I think you should cut the third line. It's repeating itself. Otherwise, you're clear and straight forward and express things in the simplist manner. Don't change anything besides the 3rd line and it should be great. *99

nice write :)

[Owlgirl]

Very well written! Amazing! In the second to last stanza it should be "there are to many. . ." instead of "is". Other than that this is a great poem with emotions that seem to be bursting!
