I escape the world by running1
running through the forest to reach my world reach my freedom 2
to reach my thoughts 3
to get away from all the bad things4
to be free and open minded I just run and run through the forest 5
it clears my head of all the bugging and teasing walking down 6
those dreadful halls of torture and pain7
I want to be free and speak my mind8
I wanna stop living from under the shadows stop hiding who 9
I am, stop hiding myself10
people should listen to me listen to what i have to say 11
listen to my world and what it gives12
giving hope and comfort and tell you not to give up your 13
dreams tells you to not give up14
and keep going always pushing forward and never live in the 15
shadows again16
my thoughts that tell me to give up and that I'm not worth it 17
its hard having family problems too18
it is hard not having friends having nothing to look up to 19
having nothing to live up too nothing......20
when I run i feel all better and put the bad things aside21
and not worry about them but when I'm put in this awful22
stupid world that is real it breaks me my mine set on my 23
problems and just tying to get through the day24
but the nature of life gives me hope and courage each day 25
getting better better until i break down and start to cry 26
feeling the bad things take over and reach the end the end of 27
me the end of my world i reached it's limits that it has to 28
give each time needing more and more comfort and happiness 29
something that my body and mind never felt in along time

Holy, when did you write this poem lol? It was very good. I sure should come and check ur poems more often lol.
-
Going for walks is always good for clearing the mind and I love walking late at night when the world is quiet. ermmmm... quieter.
I really really liked it. Nice work.
Ell -
very good. just enter ur favorite band book and song and you will be counted
-
This looks like a really good poem but could you please check the rules and make the appropriate chages? Thank you. I'll go back and comment on the poem after you message me telling me you made the changes or I'll check on it later.

You do a marvelous job in the way you use lyrical writing.
Hello and thank you for entering the contest
.
You do a marvelous job in the way you use lyrical writing. The words flow along and carry your ideas without a slip.
Life’s trials can be very complicated and thorny for a teenager. Adults tend to forget just how difficult and often lonely they were themselves during those years.
Maturity changes most of our outlook perhaps out of necessity but I enjoyed reading this well written poem. It is easy to follow and very emotional.

Lots of Emotion
There is lots of emotion and feeling in this poem. I see that you have entered a lot of contests with this poem. There are a lot of challenges for a person at any age, but at the teen years they can seem really tough. It seems in this poem, if it is about you; that you are struggling to be recognized.
Thanks for entering 'For Writers Fourteen Or Under'

Cool
I liked it, it's good.
-
This is pretty good. ^^ Keep penning and good luck in the contest. Thanks for entering.
Eci : -
awww.... this is the reason I love poetry, to express emotions and get feelings out. This definitely portrayed that. You really captured all of the emotion and struggle you were feeling. Excellent job and thanks for entering!
*KAT* -
oh this is so sad. But I think you wrote it well. Life is hard and it will always be thats why when you find good thinds and good people to fill your life with it makes it not so bad.

-
There were a lot of grammar and spelling errors, but it seemed from the heart. Good luck.
-
There were a few errors but I can live with that. A great poem and a good use of enjambement which I really enjoyed reading.
-
You had a few typos and grammatical errors but the poem was good nonetheless. You explained your 'getaway' remarkably and you were able to portray emotion in the piece. So, good job!

-
Other than a few grammar problem I liked it. It was both intersting and captivating at the same time. I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a story or a poem... in the format I thought it was a poem but it had no rythm so you must tell me. Other than that I loved it. Good luck in the contest!


-
Wow! Vert heartfelt. My favorite part is lines 6-7 and 15-16. Just a couple of edits first:
1. In lines 11, 21, 26, and 28, you might want to capitalize "i."
2. In line 10, "iam" should be "I am," I think.
3. In line 20, "too" should be "to."
I think that this poem has great potential and I can totally relate to it. Thanks for entering! Good luck and keep writing! -
I can relate to this piece! You made me feel as though I was right there watching you run thru the forest, because of all the crap in life. I run to get away too, great write! Good luck! -Liz

I almost started crying reading this, I could very well have written it. Now that you've fixed the spacing problums so I can read it.
A few things.
You need to fix a few typing errors, you switched words around in a few places, and missed a space or two.
Capitalize your I's
Try and fix where you broke off your lines so some arn't so long and others short. Plus in a few spots you broke them in an off place (lines 6-7, 9-10...)
This was overall good, powerful, emotional. -
Disqualafied, sorry.
I don't think this is a poem, it has no lines or stanzas, infact it is lacking grammer. It is if anything a rant, you may re-enter it if you make it into an acrual poem. It was diffecult to follow, and needs some serous grammer and spell checking. I think you could make this into something good, it just needs more work and time. -
thnx for entering the contest. this is really good. i like it a lot. you have no punctuation at all which takes away from this peice. it could be so much better if you made this paragraph into sentences. its a really good peice. great job and good luck. keep it up.


-
good.

Removed
The reason you are being removed is because this is a members only contest which makes this contest closed to the SW public -
This was quite emotional, the one problem I found with it was your punctuation.. Other than that, this was pretty good.. Great job and good luck in the contest. If you care to revise a bit, you are welcome to do so and re-enter the contest
Thank you,

Ana

-
Hehe, I am going to comment on all of your things
I like this. good job!
-
Thanks for sharing
It is a good emotional piece with a good message. It kind of skirts the border of the actual contest but still addresses the issue. Good luck in your placement -
Wow this is pretty good.
Few mistakes that are easily fixed.
Good luck.
Angel
