one word to describe my reaction after reading this....amazed. This was a bit of a scary piece. It lies right on the corner of pure pressure. I cannot believe this is only a three star rating because it seems liek at least a four. Keep up the good work, and I'm giving you a full praise. I also didn't see any errors.
I love the way you repeated the phrase "In the dark corner or fear." Peer pressure is a hard thing to deal with. But you should know, that you will always have the strength to overcome peer pressure you just have to find it. Nice job!
Ugh! I just tried to leave a LENGTHY comment and it didn't go through. (Sigh)
Well, anyway... what I said was that the feeling of fear definitely DOES feel like you're trapped in a dark corner. I like that phrase, and the fact that you repeated it. It makes the reader think.
Also, don't be fooled into thinking that this only happens when you're a teenager. It happens when you're an adult as well. With time and perhaps prayer (if you're the religious type) you'll see that you'll find the strength to overcome insurmountable odds!
It only gets easier when you decide down deep inside what's most important to you... making your "friends" happy (who wouldn't pressure you to do anything you don't want to IF they were your REAL friends anyway), or being true to who you are. Once I decided that, it got easier for me because I no longer CARED what "they thought"
Fear is definitely feeling like you're in a dark corner, I liked how you phrased that and how the phrase was repeated.
Peer pressure seems at times like an insurmountable obstacle, but with time and perhaps prayer (if you're the religious sort) you'll find you can overcome most any pressure. And don't think it only happens when you're a teen... it happens when you're older as well. You just have to make up your mind what's more important ... pleasing your "friends" (who wouldn't pressure you to do anything you don't want to if they were your REAL friends)... or remaining true to who you are. It took me a long time... but I've made up my mind! :-)
This is such a good poem! I can't imagine why nobody rated it accordingly. It's a good example of how pear pressure works! This is a creative poem, and I like the fitting picture you added to it. Sorry for such the short comment...I'm in a hurry... Thanks for entering my contest! Good work, keep writing!
Welcome !
