Okay, so this

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Okay, so this

Okay, so this is my first attempt at one of these poems, and I don't normally write poetry, sooo...yeah. 

but I'd love feedback for this!

The Doomed Generation

Our generation is doomed

There is nothing you can do to convince me

We can fix it

when we really look at the problem

We’ve only ever known broken

And even if

Light doesn't shine through the cracks

You can’t tell me

We are enough to fix what has been done

Because

Our greed

Shine brighter than

Our kindness

(now read from bottom to top) 

 

Wow, Annabeth. I think this is a masterpiece!

Well, now you're back, so it doesn't matter... Unless you plan on disappearing again. *Gives Annabeth a playfully sharp look* Oh and also ASPEN *Pulls Aspen into hug as well* I missed you too! All of the missing CBers are returning!! Now there's only *starts listing off older CBer names* left! *Single tear slides down cheek because I know most of them aren't returning* Winter Firefly... Snazzy44... WHY DID THE IMPERSONATOR WAR HAVE TO HAPPEN???? *Recovers self* And then there's Ice Wolf and her sister... I can't remember all of the names right now... Ugh BUT WHATEVER ABOUT MEMORIES *Hugs Annabeth and Aspen tighter*

Yeah, I don't plan on disappearing again, but school does start next week for me, so I don't know how active I'll be, but I'm going to try and stay as consistant as I can...also...

She was Useless

Nothing could ever convince her

She was enough

She knew

No one would love her

When people told her

She had her whole life in front of her

She knew

She had little time left

Refusing to believe

She could be helped

A friend constantly reminded her

The truth,

“She had a soulmate”

Was another pitiful lie and

“Never amounting to anything”

Would come to life

Dreams

Merely something to wake from

Living an empty life was

Something that she felt everyday

The thankfulness of life

Had been whisked away by

The sadness inside her

the one line doesn't flow very well, but that's okay.

I'm working on other too, I've recenty gotten really into poetry...

*slips out from hug* like I said before I totally am not planning to disapear, so expect to see much much more of me *gives awkward finger guns* p

Wow, Annabeth! Congratulations on another great poem that has reverse meaning when read backwards.

*wails* Don't remind me.

Did you...by any chance...mean...Savvy44x? Um, instead of Snazzy44? Because I don't remember ever knowing or seeing in the back pages a CBer by that name. They sound very similar and...heh. That's just odd.

I love your second one, Annabeth! It flows really well and it's so beautiful. Both of them are.

Did you consider maybe adding a "that" to the end of the second line? I think it would flow better both ways if you did.
