Within this place, as you lie awake
You begin to realize your mistake
Darkness surrounds you, you are not alone
Everything you thought is now unknown
Your fears come to life, denying you sleep
Sanity becomes almost too hard to keep
But you hold on, it subsides
You're just happy you're alive
Another night, another day
Hope for tomorrow it will go away
You begin to realize your mistake
Darkness surrounds you, you are not alone
Everything you thought is now unknown
Your fears come to life, denying you sleep
Sanity becomes almost too hard to keep
But you hold on, it subsides
You're just happy you're alive
Another night, another day
Hope for tomorrow it will go away

We Stand
When we are confused,
And there is no solution to be seen
That's when we find truth,
We find out just what living means
When...when we need...
And a world full of tears,
Is all we can see
When...when we lose those we love,
Right then and there,
Is when we rise above!
We stand, we stand!
All of us together,
Truly can shape the world
We stand, we stand
One united voice,
Will always be heard
Nothing is impossible,
It just waits for our command,
Anything can happen,
As long as we stand
When we feel so used,
And nothing seems to take the pain away,
That's when we find truth,
That's when we're ready to change
When...when we

Do Not Forget
Burning bright,
Like a fire's light.
The sun appears,
The moon whispers tears.
I raise my eyes,
And forget my lies.
The sun knows all,
I've no way to stall,
This law before,
I wait no more.
Heaven's judge awaits,
I must face my fates.
For in this hour,
I cannot cower.
Forgive my lies,
I apologize.
Forgive my sins.
I am done here,
I face the fear.
For my own hands,
they write new lands.
In my own mind,
I cannot find,
What I believe,
Now many grieve.
I say farewell,
I here have fell.
Into the wind,
I can't rescind.
My arms are spread,
My days are dead.
Good-bye my friend,
This is the end.
A new day will come,

Not Afraid
Our love is testing,
When it should be resting,
Getting ready for forever more
The flame of passion,
Gets the same reaction,
That it's always gotten before
Two souls are healing,
And both are so sore...
Walk so softly, walk so softly,
So you can hear me,
While I'm talking
I'll only whisper,
I'm not screaming senselessly,
At you anymore...
I am not afraid!
Of you, of me, of anyone
These choices that I've made!
Will all keep me from coming undone...!
These chances that I take!
Will save all of us every day!
But only if we let them...
You think I'm cheating,
When in fact I'm leading,
Us both deep into our core
One of us i

I will be critiquing this poem on behalf of
<img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/r/g…" alt="" title="GrammarNaziCritiques"/>
Firstly, I apologise for the delay in getting this critique to you. We have been incredibly backlogged.
Now, the crit:

You have asked the following questions:
1. Does it flow?
2. Does it provoke emotion well?
3. General constructive criticism:
1. Does it flow?
Yes. You have managed to rhyme in a non-distracting way and with no forced rhyme. Because of this it flows very well.
2. Does it provoke emotion well?
Personally I would say no. I didn't feel any fear or anything when reading this. It could have used more fear-provoking imagery to awaken the fear within me, but as it stands it simply reads as a good rhyme.
3. Constructive Criticism:
- In the final line, I would change 'for' to 'that' to keep it more grammatically correct.
- I would punctuate this a bit more to indicate where one should breathe or pause, as with it being a rhyming piece it becomes a bit 'floaty' after a while, like recitation.
