I wish I could glow.
Like the sunshine in eighty degree weather.
Or maybe like the plastic stars stuck up on your ceiling.
I've tired of the radioactivity I've filled with.
Its glow is harsh and artificial.
I wish I could float.
Like a kite on a soft breeze.
Or maybe like the leaves on your oak tree.
I've tired of the rocks that weigh me down.
They are much too heavy .
I wish I were lucid.
Like a crystal dangling on a string.
Or maybe like the glass pane in your bedroom window.
I've tired of this skin.
It's much too opaque.
It's much too real.

I don't know what to name it.
It's not my best but it means something to me.

"It's glow" should be "Its glow". Darn apostrophes!

I don't like the rhythm. The language that you use, your diction, is great. I love nearly every line individually, but together they don't have any coherence together. Some of them are close, like "I wish I could float. / Like a kite on a soft breeze", but they don't pull enough weight to help the rest of the poem.

I'm not quite sure what "the pane in your bedroom window" means in comparison to "lucid".

Other than the way the lines don't work together, I like the mood of the poem and the imagery you use. You have a good balance of free, floating images, such as kites, dangling crystals, stars, etc., but you balance it with more realistic images. Even though it isn't the best written poem, it still means something--to me as well as to you and probably to others--and that matters more than how well it is written.

Muwahahahahaha.

I must also disagree with Ben. I think academia focuses too much on the technicalities of literature, which means that we don't learn how to properly appreciate works like this. I less-than-three it, whether it's your best or not. The imagery isn't flowery and unrealistic like so many poems are these days. It's harsh and real, and it's you. *shrug* But then, what do I know? I'm a Psych major.
:iconiamnotepad:
