    I'll Stay Gone.

    The stenching aroma of my blood,
    flowing through my nose
    from the iron block fist, of my
    father, slamming into it
    its my fault really - i shouldnt have
    been in his way,
    because he came home drunk
    the shame and pain i feel
    flow through my veins
    that fill with the crys of
    a falling angel, as my breath
    breaks off my tongue, and
    my eyes feel the ocean overpowering
    as a tear seeps out,
    mixing with the blood stains
    on my lips, the taste
    flowing vribantly through the cracks
    in my mouth, crashing into
    my throat as i swallow my pride.

    Running to my room,
    as his harsh words pound through
    my eardrums, entering my brain
    killing the cells, that i
    once loved and respected him with.
    The slamming of my door
    only angered him more,
    my heartbeat screamed as
    he pounded the staircase,
    to kick in my bedroom door
    as i hid under my covers -
    trying to escape to another
    realm, of peace and happiness
    where flowers sung until
    they themselves vaporised into
    a bliss of wonderfullness,
    then i feel the first brick thrown
    through the window of my sight,
    as the next stone cracked the
    foundation covering my breaths,
    after that, the black myst clouded
    around my consience,
    blocking out the pain with a
    blinding silence, of peace.

    As i awoke the next morning,
    the aches to move, went
    straight to my brain, sending
    a war to spots all over me
    the black and purple colors
    are the aftermath of spending
    the night with my father,

    My guts screamed
    never again will i let this happen!
    so i packed clothes in secret
    as my so-called father prepared
    for work, and i acted so stupid -
    to try and leave before he left,
    the thoughts of idiocracy
    developed in my brain, blatantly
    a lightining bolt struck
    as i stood in shock, of my father
    when i turned around
    and saw his face, twisted with anger.
    A pause overtook the moment of
    the intense hate boiling in our hearts
    he lunged forward trying to grab me
    with his bear hands, my reflexes
    acted on the instincts of a fox
    as i jumped to the other side,
    of the room - thrashing through
    the glass window -
    my father shouted, that i was
    never aloud back in that place,
    i looked at him with hate
    and yelled back -
    I wont, I'll Stay Gone.

    Re: I'll Stay Gone.

    Aiight this piece here was a bit of a drag on for me...pretty predictable once I began to read you didn't really own this piece and make it your own...you kinda said the same things I've heard on drops like this over and over..though you did have spots of good imagery and this was filled with emotion it just didn't come off as original as it should've IMO...I felt that you could've did a bit more or even dug deeper into the realationship between the two and gave the reader some why's and what not...but all in all good drop..I just didn't find it to my liking..

    ^word to all of that.

    a little bit too wordy for my taste. im not opposed to long poems - most of mine are really long - but in certain places there were definitely lines that seemed unnecessary to conveying the story. just a little too much... i did this then he did that then i did this etcetcetc.

    i think developing some core images and deepening your presentation of them would make the scene come to life a lot more... you hover between presenting a more abstract picture on places like this:

    the shame and pain i feel
    flow through my veins
    that fill with the crys of
    a falling angel, as my breath
    breaks off my tongue, and
    my eyes feel the ocean overpowering
    as a tear seeps out,
    to being very literal in places like this:

    My guts screamed
    never again will i let this happen!
    so i packed clothes in secret
    as my so-called father prepared
    for work, and i acted so stupid -
    to try and leave before he left,
    the first sounding more poetic where as the second... is merely telling a story. a more uniform style throughout would improve the flow.

    you obviously have a well-developed story and train of thought in this one... but the presentation (tone, grammar / spelling, awkward line breaks) takes away from the picture you are trying to paint.

    good start... but could use some revising.
