Question:another ametuer poem not very good... umm im 13... rate 1-10 written in a few minutes....

Why is love,
All life is about?
I thought I was above
But I’m starting to doubt,
Whether all my dreams
Are just aimless stares
Like I want something
That just isn’t there.
I thought I was special,
You were something new,
But now I can see
I was just being used.
I can’t see why I love you,
I don’t know why
I thought I was above you
Your love is a lie.

this is actually an okay poem written by a 13 year old..i write a lot of poetry and i've gotten published once before..i would give this a 6ish..sorry it just has to be more meaningful i mean its very good but you should spend more time on your poem and it make it even better

10..pretty good! Keep it up! =)

that was good. im very into poetry, usually dark poetry not love but that was good. umm.... maybe a 7. just spend more time on your poems it could have more imagery

i really liked it. it has a good subject. I think the end needs a little work though. i would give it a 7 but with a little editing and revising it would be an 8-9.....good luck and keep it up!

Take out the two lines above the last one ( i dont know why and i thought i was above you) oh and the 2 lines after the secod line ( i thought i was above but now im starting to doubt) besides that its great. So the poem would read

I know you had some rhyming between the lines i took out but poems dont have to rhyme....... i dont know i dont like the whole i thought i was above you thing. Besides that your on your way. Spice up your vocab a bit and put more heart into it ( pour your guts all over your poems, open up and just write),. I would give it a 7.
