What do you think of my poem, West to East?
West to East
I once believed…
Then everything fell from me.
A westward wind blew,
And the sun withdrew.
Caves called back, howling
Sketches to scribbles drew.
I once believed…
In rules and truth, too,
Measured meanings turned to stone.
One by one, a rock, I threw.
Caves called back, howling
Knowledge to innocence doomed.
I once believed…
In a future beyond morning.
The horizon rises above me now,
Worthless words I choose.
Caves called back, howling
I’d rather be dead than be with you.

A poem of despair, anger and frustration. Life now means little to you and alternatives have to be found. You have tried hard on composing this write and I could make some suggestion's on how I would improve it, but you are happy with it though I feel that you do need to understand just how you are expecting the reader to comprehend your wording. Reread it and ask yourself "Is it how I really wish to word it"?

It probably won't win any awards but surely writing it was cathartic and for what more can the writer wish?
