Question:Floating thru this abyss
Yearning for something real
A touch, a taste,
Something easy on the eyes
A prolonged corridor
That introduces treasures
Rather than traveled experiences

I'm bouncing off of transforming walls
Yet, i'm standing awkwardly still
As everything escapes me
Converting in every direction

Trying to be honest with myself
Has me metamorphosing
Nothing makes sense
&
Every path is a dead end

On bruised shoulders
I bestow this horror

Loneliness,
Is an understimated emotion

Oh please help me God
I feel as if i'm descending
Show me your strength
I'm for the kidnapping




Incandescence

Incandescence

I like it.

I think its a little too far out there for more than half of the Yahoo Answers population but I can understand it.

The more you try to make sense of things, the more abstract and intangible they become. It makes you feel lonely, alienated, lost...left to wonder
God help you.

5

on a scale of 1-5 i give it a 3125710298.

i love it :D

This wouldn't do for a number 5! Its WAY more than a number five like 999,999,999,999, etc. Times more! Its really good! Well done =).

zero

wow!! 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,...

I never understand these questions. So, you have a scale of 1-5, does that mean five is "Kubla Kahn" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and one is, well, we won't talk about one.

Okay then, on that scale I'd say maybe 1.34, around about there. Rounded to two decimal places, obviously. That was as far as I could calculate.

I give it a 2.5 (that would be a 5 in a 1-10 ranking). It definitely needs some punctuation and better concrete language. Some of the images are vague causing it to be too abstract (which is fine when you're writing to your self, but if you want a wider audience to grasp it, be more specific). Most importantly though - punctuate it; I know it's not prose, but poetry needs grammar too.

10! Very nice.

While I agree it needs punctuation, I also think it's very good.
5!
