Quote:
Hear them bang at your door
As you open your core

You blurt out your feelings
And you felt like braking

Thats when they chatter your darkness
And you show them your kindness

A few days, and few nights
Your all in frights

You hear them hiss at you
Just to make you feel blue

You feel a thump
As your heart just got dumped


ya wat u ppl think of my poem??

Definitely need to work on spelling and grammar. The fifth stanza makes no sense; making "you feel like burnt stew" is not a simile I've heard before, and thus I cannot catch the drift of making you feel terrible. I just sounds like forced rhyme, which it may well be.

I'd say edit the spelling and grammar, or I can do it for you, then try it without rhyming. The rhythm is inconsistent because of the rhyme.

A little more cliche`, but definitely flows better and is a better metaphor than burnt stew.

As for grammar, I'mma go ahead and fix it. :3

as you open your core;

you blurt out your feelings,
and you feel like breaking;

that's when they shatter your darkness
and you show them your kindness.

For a few days and a few nights,
you're all in frights;

you hear them hiss at you
just to make you feel blue.

You feel a thump
as your heart got dumped.


I assumed that a few changes to structure, such as the addition or subtraction of one or two words, would make the flow better.
I like the premise of the poem, and, despite the rhyme, works rather well.

Keep at it, and use a word processor, turning on everything in the options to correct grammatical mistakes. If you need instructions for Word or Works, I can provide it. :]

It made me think of my cat. I liked it. Keep working on it.
