It is what it is


Smile, frown turn around don't know what to do so you go downtown and you go to the bar and you have a couple drinks now your spitting up blood in the bathroom sink. Bars done and it wasn't much fun and when you look outside the clouds are covering the sun so you walk down the street and try to cover up the pain but instead you get soaked by the down pour of rain. Then you pass out in the middle of the street to be picked up minutes later by Illinois State Police. They throw you in jail, in a small holding cell and your face right now's looking bitterly pale. At half past ten a doctor comes in and tells you your life is coming to an end.In the middle of the night the doctors verdict proves right and another human being has lost the life fight.

People go through days drinking and smoking and thinking nothing will happen. Well this poem tells you that their is some times an ultimate prices gets paid when you least expect it too

&quot;If you don&#039;t stand for something you&#039;ll fall for anything.&quot;- Suckerpunch<br /> &quot;The purpose of life is to be a better version of yourself.&quot;- Lucy Hale

I really like this and the idea. The only thing I would say is to add maybe a few verses in the begining that says basically how much they get away with even though they're doing all these things wrong. Because it's not usually that easy and fast for someone to get caught and that way itll have more emotion and in the end people will feel more when he gets karma. good job!

Its a good poem, but its formatted in a way that loses the natual flow and hinders the full emotions from impacting the reader.

Intence poem. It's kinda . . . In the rough, though. It's got a beat, it just neads to be formatted that way.

It's one of those poems that's kind of depresing, but so true that it's incredible.

&quot;I say... lets speak it. Lets fight it. Lets write it. There&#039;s nothing to hold on to if it&#039;s already gone.&quot;

Loved it. The only thing I would say is work on the formatting. But it was still really really good! Keep writing!

Wow, I love this one, with so much meaning. It is good how you are like aware of this kinda stuff considering your age (yeah, like i can talk!) :)

On a more negative note, I just want to mention the lining (I have decided that that is what it is called) again.

As you can probs see from my comments (LOL, I told you that I would comment :D) and stuff that I love lining.

I think that if you did it, it would make your poems more powerful than they already are (and they are really powerful!) :)

Please write more poems :)

Well, i don't have any friends that are on the site with me. It's pretty sad really. 

But I'm going to be holding a contest soon. Enter a new poem in that and if you win i will do something special that will help you get views! I'm going to give you a secret in on the contest : It's going to be called personification poetry contest. Hope you enter.

Also, I just try to help as many people out as i can in hopes that they will return the favor. Do that maybe (if you don't already)!

well, I don't really have any friends on the site that i can recommend you to. I'm alone in this hobby of mine! :) kind of sad though,really.

Ummm, I was planning on judging my own poetry contest (it'll be in the forums) really soon. So be looking for it! Whenever i post it enter a poem in it (maybe a new one if you can). then, if you win, then I have a special prize thing that could help you out in getting more views. Plus, I'm going to give you a secret in on the contest: It's going to be called "Personification Poetry Contest". Be thinking about it!

I just try to critique lots of people poetry because usually they'll be thankful i helped them, and they might return the favor. Try that.
