Never Compromising

Never Compromising My heart has moved on and tears have been shed. Patience spread thin, relationship is dead. When I talk you don't respond, withdrawn! Tears have been shed and my heart has moved on. Love was not enough, so much for destiny! Tough, walking on eggshells is misery! This life together has gotten rough So much for destiny, love was not enough! Never compromising, always a fight the times I get the urge to write! Constantly struck over-analyzing! Always a fight, never compromising Mind is wandering, strangers to conquer, to much time has already been squandered! Suffering has passed, now prospering! Strangers to conquer, mind is wandering!! For Andrea Deitrich's "Swap Quatrain" contest! Name withheld until contest is over!

Hello, friend Jared. I liked this piece, but you have some jagged rhymes here and there and breaks in rhythm. I think if you go back and polish this up a bit, you will have a strong contender in the contest. But it's a little unrefined at this juncture. If you want more specific details, I'll be happy to tell and help; just let me know. I think you are so talented and believe in your ability :)
