Blood In My Eyes

Blood in my eyes 
I still refuse to cry 
I still refuse to be a victim
To the blood in my eyes 

Why should I?
Try!
When every time I try to fly
I fall
Why should i?
Give!
When there’s no one there to take
Because their all fake.
Why do I?
Try!
When every relationship I’m in 
Breaks 
Why can’t I?
Die!
Cause now it seems like all I’m doing 
Is bleeding 

Blood in my eyes 
I still refuse to cry 
I still refuse to be a victim
To the blood in my eyes

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I like the circulatory pattern in this poem. The beginning and the ending linked together very well. Welcome to Poetry Soup and keep writing. Great job! Joseph
