A map to darkness

I looked at a map
For a specific direction,
To a boy's heart, But I
Stopped at the wrong station.

Now I am lost, and
all alone in the dark.
In a twisted station.
In the the shape of an arc.

And in this station,
Are my two biggest fears:
Depression and Solitude
That I have escaped from for years.

I scream and cry,
As I see solitude walk about.
And I notice my lips moving
But my voice wont come out.

I quickly grow cold and fearful.
And look all around.
For I have lost all hope.
And know that I shall never be found.

Then I suddenly feel
My heart become gloomy.
Tears roll down my face,
Depression, has now joined me.

I am now a prisoner,
In the cave of a boy's dark heart.
All because of a map
That I have now, tore apart.

This piece is about me falling in love with the wrong person. And it speaks about how I am a prisoner in his heart because of a mysterious map that led me to it. The map symbolizes my feelings.

this is a great poem i love the concept, the emotion, and the ability it has to conect with the readers feelings. i can really relate to this, so it makes me love it even more. you are a great poet, and i can't wait to read some of your other stuff.

Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery.  People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody. ~J.D. Salinger,The Catcher in the Rye,

this is very very good XD i like how u didnt just do the typical falling in love u showed how bad it hurts wen u fall for the wrong person but u can't get out of the mess that ur in with them and you try hard to escape but it never worrks and we fall flat

I thought that this was very good! I particularly like your third stanza--the beat was perfect, and the rhyming seemed smooth and effortless. I also like your punctuation in all stanzas except for the fifth... too many periods (although it DOES work for you in the sense that I feel almost constricted reading that stanza). Great job!

This poem really touched my heart and I can't explain it but it made me feel so free yet imprisoned as well. I can't explain it, but you are amazing at poetry and this is one of the most incredible poems I have ever read (if you don't mind could you read my poem Goodbye and give me some feedback on it as well because I would love to hear the opinion of someone as talented as you)
