I try to change but theirs not much to say. My name is Jon, I'm still not gone. I'm not ashamed I forget the date every other day. It must be fate that I still await the day I find my twin. Chilling and grinning, drinking my filling until i find myself seeing the ceiling. It isn't to appealing, til I find the other half of the missing piece really. People say I'm uptight and more insecure than most,sorry I don't try to boast I'd rather try to make another toast. I like to drink, I like to smoke, but it isn't what I like that makes us alike. With head held high I try to sigh but the sky just keeps passing me by. When it rains I don't try to hide abide, I just go along for the ride. When it all comes down to it I'd rather just live my life my way or **** it, what the **** is the point?

I was bored, I think I over used my "I's" lol. what do you guys think? how bad is it :P

Do you want to be a rapper or something? Cause I think you're going to have to try again but it's better than Lil Wayne and Souljah Boy so I'll give you that.

I didn't think it was bad at all. At some points it seems a bit like the rhyming is directing what you are writing and pushing it forward, rather than it having it's own story that happens to rhyme, if you know what I mean, but I didn't think it was bad at all. And I respect anyone who takes the time to do some creative writing and has the guts to post in a forum so, well done.

Hey thanks, and yes I know what you mean. I'm trying to fix it(my over all style) but its a little difficult to make a story that doesn't follow the rhymes. anyways I find writing fun and I'm try to improve :)

Do you want to be a rapper or something? Cause I think you're going to have to try again but it's better than Lil Wayne and Souljah Boy so I'll give you that.

Assassin1349

No not really I just find it fun, to try to make something that rhymes. I would post other stuff but nah....

What are you trying to be? The Riddler?

I agree. I always wonder why some of the people in this forum think that they are so much better than everyone else. We should be encouriging him. Although, I must say TC, what you said at the end of the poem and some of the other parts were a bit extreme. But good job though.

Heh, nice... I like the character's attitude. I don't get the stuff about the sky passing him by when he tries to sigh, though.

There's a LOT of mistakes and things that would need fixing. And when you're going to post writing material, please, PLEASE use proper grammar and spelling. PLEASE.

I try to change, but theirs (should be "there's") not much to say. My name is Jon, I'm still not gone. I'm not ashamed I forget the date every other day. It must be fate that I still await the day I find my twin. Chilling and grinning, I drink my fill until I find myself seeing the ceiling (try "until I find myself staring up"). It isn't to(too)appealing, til I find the other half of the missing piece really ("It isn't too appealing..." doesn't make sense. What are you trying to say? Are you saying that staring at your ceiling isn't appealing until you find your other half? But why? Why is it not appealing until then?). People say I'm uptight and more insecure than most, (period) sorry I don't try to boast I'd rather try to make another toast. (No point in having this sentence. It's just forced. If you want it, then try something like "Sorry that I don't like to boast about my feelings or how I am." Keep the "I'd rather try to make another toast" out.) I like to drink, I like to smoke, but it isn't what I like that makes us alike(??? Try not to rhyme. It sounds too forced when you do). With head held high I try to sigh but the sky just keeps passing me by. When it rains I don't try to hide abide, I just go along for the ride. When it all comes down to it I'd rather just live my life my way or **** it, what the **** is the point? (I don't find the ending really appealing. It's way too forced and it doesn't explain anything. You're just trying to rhyme without telling anything. Why are you looking for your other half? Who is this other half? What are the differences? Try and tell the story. Don't try to rhyme when doing so. For this piece, it seems way too forced.)

I was bored, I think I over used my "I's" lol. what do you guys think? how bad is it :P

CoolSkAGuy

It sounds like you're trying to write a story. However, in another way, it just sounds like a rap. That is why I suggested the things that I did suggest. Without it, it might make for a good story, but with all the stuff, it just seems like another rap that was written, cliched and all. With the changes that I put, it would be something like that...

"I try to change, but there's not much here to say.

My name is Jon. I'm not gone, nor am I ashamed that I forget the date every other day. It must be fate that I still await the day I find my twin. Chilling and grinning, I drink my fill until I find myself staring up.

I still don't know why I always stare up.

People say I'm uptight and more insecure than most. Sure I like to drink and smoke, but that's not what I like about the two of us..."

I hope this helps. :)

What? :? When you're posting a piece asking people what they think, proper grammar and spelling is extremely important. You want people's feedback. Having poor grammar and spelling is going to give negative feedback.

Don't worry, I was just quoting a comic about a T-Rex who hates houses.

I try to change, but there's not much to say.My name is Jon, I'm not gone nor am I ashamed I forget the date of every other day. Searching for frequency of time and humanity never dwelling on what is to come.

It must be fate that I still await the day I find my twin. Sitting and grinning,I drink my fill until I find myself staring up. Looking at the nature that has befallen me, why I do it is still a mystery.

It isn't appealing really, or at least it isn't until I find the other missing piece. People say I'm uptight and more insecure than most, It's not like I'm trying to cloak it, I show my true self and never cower.

With my head held high I sigh, searching the sky that just keeps passing me by. When I awake I stand and open a window and see she isn't there, I tell myself I don't care, but emptiness always reside. Going day by day searching for her I just hope I wasn't born too late.

Thanks to the encouragement of Ayanami,I can tell your a really good writer just by your suggestions. I actually tried to make it moreof of a story :P

I was thinking of changing "what is to come" to "what is insanity" but idlk

and Im terrible with endings :cry:
