This is a poem I wrote quite a while ago....it's not one of those poems that really rhyme....
I hope you all still enjoy, feel free to share your feedback :)
Echoes of Angels
You hear the echoes of the angels
who have left you wandering the streets aimlessly
never stopping at stop signs or stoplights
Never stopping for fear of falling behind
So you fall into limbo with the rest of the world
But…..
We are all puppets
Masked to others perfection
with the perception others view us with
We are no longer humans
We are toys that others only use when they want to
and then we are left abandoned when they are through
We are actors
in this messed up movie
with crappy roles and costumes
with fake smiles and fake tears
and you are….
Fabricated to hide all the baggage that you hold onto,
because you can’t let go of what could have been,
Taking granted of what you have been given
You dream of the Utopia
that you will never find
and drift into sweet oblivion....

This is a wonderful poem. I love how you ended this poem. I always write free verse and sometimes some lines rhyme naturally other times they don't

@MommyOfEli2013 it greatly helps when I get inspired, then I can just write and not worry about checking out any rhymes and such

@RasmaSandra Yes, that is definitely a plus! I haven't felt inspired to write much lately....but I loved it when I did.

The poem is good but it is filled with darkness and hopelessness. It must have been written in a difficult time in your life.

@MommyOfEli2013 I have done that too! Life is not always a walk in the park.

Yes, it was written in a dark/difficult time in life....I wrote poetry to cope/help me through those times.

Free verse can be more challenging to hang together, you have done really well with your poetic imagery.
