The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Not finished yet but let me know what you think!

 

I have scars inside of my

Locked up tight for none to see

All these scars you gave to me

With a few sharp words you broke my heart

But all of this is just the start.

 

I keep digging myself deeper into depression

Words like happiness have lost all meaning

Im caught up in teenage grievings

Hmm... the rhythm could use some work... but that's to be expected with something that's just being begun.

 

Perhaps it would be improved by changing:

 

With a few sharp words you broke my heart

 

to

 

With razor words, you broke my heart.

 

or cold, sharp words, or some such.

 

Not sure what sort of effect you're trying for with the second bit, though... Whether it's supposed to be verse or free form.

 

I like this, though.

Arwen,

 

I wanted to say that I'm impressed with how much honesty and reasoning you really put into your poetry... the following line especially impressed me:

 

Im caught up in teenage grievings

The adjective "teenage" tells me that you recognize the fact that these emotions will probably pass, and that they're perhaps not what'll be important in a few years. I'm really in awe that you can recognize that, and display that recognition so fluently!

 

Carry on... I'd love to see the final version of this!
