Standing Alone On The Other Side

Find the truth deep down inside your soul
Wondering if you try no more
Will you stand alone?

Through the smoke
We watch for
What we do not wish to find

Maybe your a soldier
Taught to die for a bold lie

We must fight to find the real truth
Die for what we know
Wondering if the choices made
Will ever let us go

We must fight to find the real truth
Three's no turning back
Be ready for the downfall
When the sky is turning black

Find the truth deep down inside your soul
Wondering if you try no more
Will you stand alone?

Through the smoke
We watch for
What we do not wish to find

Maybe your a priest and
Set forth as the voice of God

We must fight to find the real truth
Die for what we know
Wondering if the choices made
Will ever let us go

We must fight to find the real truth
Three's no turning back
Be ready for the downfall
When the sky is turning black

Falling down
There's no place to go
Why not join me
While I stand alone?

See me
Stand on the other side
Im the only one
Who stands alone.

Falling down
There's no place to go
Why not join me
While I stand alone?

    A few small grammatical errors in this piece. 3rd stanza should be you're instead of your. 5th stanza should be there instead of three. Maybe "you're a priest" instead of your. 11th stanza "there's no" instead of threes no.13th stanza "I'm " instead of Im. These somewhat take away from the value of the poem as it leaves the reader having to mentally correct and re-read in there mind. However, setting those aside, I like the use of repetition within the piece as it adds to the overall impact of the piece.

    very nice write. this would have fit the contest, you're right, but i'd rather have freshies for this one. why not try writing something else? (it's a pretty open topic...)

    Very nice. I like how you repeated certain thoughts.

    My favorite lines were:

    "There's no turning back
    Be ready for the downfall
    When the sky is turning black."


    Line seven and twenty-three:
    "your" should be "you're"

    Line fourteen and thirty:
    "Three's" should be "There's"


    Awesome write

    "Falling down
    There's no place to go
    Why not join me
    While I stand alone?"
