    Opinion on my poem.

    Hello, I need for people to tell me what they think about my poem.
    Be as truthful as possible, please. I need honest views so that I know whether
    i should begin work on making someone out of it just throwing it away.
    please and thank you.


    I stare up at the sun and my skin begins to come apart and fall from my shoulders.
    I close my eyes and finish the job. I peel my eyelids and pull my lips forward.
    The sun all of a sudden moves away into the clouds coming in closer to where I stand.
    The shadows disappear and the clouds start to cry. The winds roar as the raindrops land.
    I lift up the palms of my hands and wait. I can't feel anything and I don't know why.

    It makes no sense. What was the idea you wanted to convey?

    I think I kind of understand it. Are you trying to convey a feeling of hurt and emptiness?

    Hi, chocolatebeeaar!

    I like it and I think that it's very creative! I hope that you don't mind, but I arranged and re-worded it a bit to make it a little easier to understand.

    A person really needs to think deep and be creative in order to understand it.

    A possible title might be "I Stare Up at the Sun."

    I stare up at the sun
    My skin begins to tear apart
    It starts by falling from my shoulders.
    I close my eyes to finish the job.

    I peel my eyelids
    And pull my lips forward.
    The sun all moves away suddenly into the clouds
    Closing in on where I stand.

    The shadows disappear and the clouds start to cry.
    The winds roar as the raindrops land.
    I lift the palms of my hands and wait.
    I can't feel anything and I don't know why.

    Thanks!

    Um, very graphic, and not very understandable, but for some unknown reason, I like it

    I like it. I get from this that a person is changing, shedding their old skin becoming something new and unfamiliar to them. Keep it up!
