I'd rather be sorry for something that I did than for something I didn't do.
-Red Scott


Night be my teacher,
Candle be my witness,
Moon be my guide.
Help me see the stars,
And learn of their deepest secrets.
Maneuver me,
Through the twists and turns,
The darkest niches in my mind.
Put the pencil in my hand,
So I may write,
Pull me through
Insanity, so I may
Emerge enlightened, wise.
Teach me, o, secrets I have yet to find,
Witness me, o, my ever burning light,
Guide me, o, beauty I shall never find!

You've gotta take the good with the bad, smile when you're sad, love what you got and remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget, learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong but always remember life goes on

Hmm. This is very different buti love it. :)

This is really good, Blue. You get every little detail just right. You can even make a dinosuar sound that a little kitten. Meow. Keep up the good work and stay sane. For all out sakes, please.

“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.” ~Robert Frost

While i did like this, it came off as a little cliche, at least to me. But thats being nitpicky.

I do like the first line, but the second line is laying it on thick. "Candle be my witness" is pushing the cliche pretty far, but i like the image/feel it creates. Just a thought.

Also "Moon be my guide" is disasterously cliche XD Probably the most of any line in this poem.

However, I do like your use of declaring "O". I think you have something good going there.

Its a good poem and I give it 4/5. The only issue i see here is the cliches, but what teen writing isn't filled with cliche. My only advice for you is to do your best to avoid words and phrases you think sound familiar or ones that aren't taken seriously by time, if that makes sense...Anyways, Good Job! :)

She wants to die. She wants to disappear, to be remembered no more. She wants so terribly to be forgotten, all her mistakes, all her failures, everything. Her name to be wiped free from all record of existence. Because is it really existing when you’ve got nothing to show for your life?

awesome poem! 5/5 :)
