i have spent years of my life in various situations from extremely low points to extremely high points,through these times i always felt relieved if i wrote down how i was feeling,it gave me a better perspective as i read it back to myself.i am far from a professional writer but i think that with a bit of tweaking i may be able to use it one day.what follows is a sample poem from my collection which i would appreciate some views on,i assure you that when i say i want as many opinions as possble it is more for the feed back than to earn money so here it is and i hope you enjoy it:
Snap Out Of It
i have seen suffering beyond your belief,
so just think perspective next time you feel grief
keeping your faith is what life's all about
even the best cricketer will soon be caught out
without all life's downs you can't appreciate the ups
just the same as you can't enjoy tea without cups
no matter how hard all the tasks are ahead
sooner or later we all end up dead
if you die tomorrow how much fun have you had
so dont waste a lifetime on just feeling sad
try making the most of each day you're alive
if life was a car go from neutral to drive
don't waste your life on just worrying in vain
as instead of living happily you will just live in pain
we know sooner or later we're all gonna die
so while we're alive we should all at least try.

They poem was very valuable. I appreciate the thoughts. What you need to do is to have a structure for the poem with rhyming words or whatever it needs to make it more attractive for the reader. Unless you do it, your poem will appear like a group of words giving some thoughts and not a poem. Any way it is not so bad. Making an effort itself is a great thing.

I'd like to commend you for a job well done. It's a poem everybody could relate to. There has to be consistency and agreement in the lines. I just couldn't get the basis for your analogy on the line,"without all life's downs you can't appreciate the ups,just as the same you can't enjoy tea without the cups."

That poem is a rollercoaster ride of emotions, the up and the down of life, something most of us can relate to. One thing i will say it is very personal to you as it mentions specific things such as crickit and tea. Overall its a good piece of work, if a little depressing
