    Yearning to tell

    Yearning to tell
    I often feel as though this is my sentence to hell
    The weight of the entire solar system rests upon my mere shoulders
    The demoralizing words of others
    crushing every centimeter of my once strong spirit with the authority of massive boulders
    Easily written off are the unsolicited judgments of society
    However, inescapable is self-judgment and its harsh reality
    When my greatest gifts aren’t enough
    and when it’s impossible to remain tough
    the beating only gets stronger
    and my cries seem to last longer
    created as God wanted me to be
    constantly I ask “why me?”
    was my life not spared when God sent his son as the ultimate sacrifice?
    or does salvation not exist for those who, like me, have some type of vice?
    Yearning to tell
    I often feel as though this is my sentence to hell
    I can’t help but feel like a fraud
    As if my life is nothing but a façade
    I’m not searching for acceptance
    Nor do I care for your self-righteous guidance
    The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are the cornerstones of our nation’s being
    A being that I am just as privileged as you to enjoy
    But because I am different it is the mission of most to identify and destroy
    All of what makes me different you see
    All of what makes me, ME
    Yearning to tell
    I often feel as though this is my sentence to hell

    Yeah.. this had some cool content, but.. the smoothness of the piece wasn't there at aaaall. Like, the flow of it. Too many syllables and shit. Just shorten it up, my dude. Shorten up the syllables, and gain a constant scheme with your words.. and you'll be good..good vocab and content, though.

    to me this came off as more of a poem or some kind of spoken word piece.
    sometimes when a writer picks up the pen he wants to rhyme how he eould in a speaking voice.
    I kinda guess thats what you were doing here....so I have no beef with the lenght or flow....this was less of a rhythm piece in my opinion.

    I liked this and where the story was going but I feel you coulda elaborated on your subject just a tad bit more.....nice writing and peace.

    Favorite lines were as follows:

    A being that I am just as privileged as you to enjoy
    But because I am different it is the mission of most to identify and destroy
    All of what makes me different you see
    All of what makes me, ME
    Yearning to tell
    I often feel as though this is my sentence to hell

    for some reason those lines stood out to me more than any others.
    pz outt.
