One of the major frustrations with poetry is that I can't stand it when my poems come off as corny, cliché, or too emo. When I rhyme, it feels too forced. When I don't, it seems too jumbled. When I write about something depressing, it seems too emotional. Too fake. Too insignificant.
I want people to be honest. Is this poem corny, cliché, too emo? Seriously. Churning in my mind Will I change or will I be the same Breathless breathless heart beats fast This lust might just be fear Can you see it? Do you care for it? Making up for time Will it mend or will I stay broken Horror horror cold blows by This pain might just be real Can you see it? Do you care for it? Breaking shattered down Will I stand or will I fall Awful awful fill this hole This emptiness is brutal Can you see it? Do you care for it? Personally, I think it's too...something. I don't feel anything from it. Does anyone have any tips on how to get real, raw emotion into a poem, so you can feel the life in it? It's so frustrating. |
