I Was Looking…
I was looking for a hit
I was looking for a fix
The darkest high
I'll ever know
I was looking for a... thing
So much trouble does it bring
Deeper
Than you'll ever know
I was looking for an answer
But the question is a cancer
Scars
I'll never show
I was waiting for a day
It's not up for display
A place
I'll never go
I said all the words
Here they're all unheard
What doesn't shine
Will never glow
Adrift upon the breeze
The flowers make me sneeze
Yeah...
That's just how it goes

I really liked this. I like it more because you never really work out what it is that you are looking for, so it has that bit of mystery about it.
Well written, easy read. Good job.

I love how your writing has a certain level of mystique to them. Very impressive, and I also agree.. very easy read.

as the tumblr kids say
^ relevant
v. good, like the skewy rhyme, has an offbeat songlike quality, or like a beating headache- but cohesive too, circular. That's the best i can do. Don't change anything.

I feel like we all have those hidden scars and those secrets and those words we have said that always go unheard. And the situation we are each in may differ, but the emotions are the same and your poem connects each of us on not simply a situational level but a deeply emotional level. Great work.

On the themes of nature, I loved how this lead down a path with an unexpected twist. Nicely done.
