White roses of heroes wilt,
one by one
Angels cry in silent tears,
on and on
As we live life with fears
Never love,
but always lost
Never be,
and never seen
Where are the fires?
The honor?
The need?
The point where Death turns?
Or where that smile means something to me?
Why has love become no more?
And the soul; the magic,
become strange to me
Bring forth, our Sun,
light to darkest corners
May good take over,
and shadows all gone
But what little trickery we play on our mind
Truth stands stronger against our lies
If the stars were to fall to earth, I say
May your heart beat,
more and more
Find the darkness,
overwhelming
Evil powers,
exhilarating
There no point in return
So far lost, good is truly gone
See our humanity become,
torn and torn
After all, we’re only human
Bound to mistakes
Not angels,
but demons
Do you find this life worth living?
Then live your life
Make a mistake
See your flaws,
but don’t obey it
Try to change it
See the light, even in blackest nights
Stand up,
people are in need
Rise up,
Feel the good,
the need,
the love
Let the light take over,
and feed your soul
Find it amazing?
Exhilarating?
Take more steps,
become our hero
Let the angels feel proud again
And we will follow,
becoming human

I must agree that I think this poem would be better broken into stanzas, but that is about my only critizism. Its really well written and really quite beautiful

Hm. Poetry. Not really my thing, but I'll give it a go. Scrolling through the comments, I can see that you've gotten some advice to break it up into stanzas. I agree with that 100%. Just a little bit of formatting would make it a lot easier to read. That being said, I do like the style of the poem, the short lines, one or two words each time. Makes it feel choppy, but not a bad choppy, a good choppy. I like the message too. Be better people. At least, that's what I got from it, but that's kind of the point of poetry isn't it? Everyone sees something different and all that. Anyway, change the formatting around a little bit and that should help a lot. I did really like it - keep writing!

I agree with MoraleAsh that stanzas would make it easier to read, and that the content was the best part. Maybe throwing in a few metaphors/similes would make it a bit more interesting? Sorry if I sound overly critical--it's just how I am :)

yes they are. even though it's split up into short lines, which is nice, it's still hard on the eye. It's like if you have a really long essay but short sentences. But you don't wanna read the essay because it seems tedious. Aha, i hope that explains it!

sorry, second line was supposed to be a question. Stanzas are paragraphs of poems?

I enjoyed the content of this piece more than anything. It was hard for me to read because it was really lenghty. My suggestion is to split it up into stanzas so it's easier to read. Otherwise, great job.
