Question: Please rate my poem - Work in progress!.!.!.!.!?
It's quite a simple thing - yet reflects deeper meaning!.!.!.

Please judge!.!.!.

Is it only me!?

Is it only me…
Who finds darkness on the brightest day,
Who can never blow the clouds away,
Can’t say the words I need to say,
Is it only me!?

Is it only me…
Who hears the pain in a joyful cry,
And all the anguish in the “unheard” sigh,
Who seems to wait for the last goodbye,
Is it only me!?

Is it only me…
Whose endless tunnel is bereft of light,
Who dreams to be to be high as a kite,
Who knows - really - it’s all a bag of shite,
Is it only me!?

Is it only me…
Who sees it all as just a dream,
Who knows it’s never quite as it seems,
There’s really only ever one in a team,
Is it me!?

ThanksWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I have to agree, the rhyme scheme is very nice!. I like the almost condescending attitude, actually!. Humanity is so flawed and selfish, and I think that tone gives to the ideas behind the poem!. My compliments!. The structure is very organized!. My advice would be to throw some alliteration in there somewhere!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is a relentlessly self-centred approach which I'm afraid may put a lot of readers off!.
Try it without so many "Is it only me!?"
Too much of this is bogged down in cliches!.
I like the three-fold rhyme scheme though!. It evokes the continuing nature of despair!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
