Hit a rock,

Blood pours like rain.

When I wake,

I'm sinking in tears,

Made by me.

Clawing for air,

Lungs screaming,

Cries muffled by waves.

Break the surface,

Looks for a way out,

Only to fall back in.

I close my eyes,

Letting the water engolf me.

Wakes to see I'm only,

Dreaming of what I feel inside.

This is about the suffocating feeling of when people turn away when you need them most.

Suffocation might be a good title.

Thanks again for the advice, I will have to work on that. Quick question, could you give me an example of a good title for this poem so I can base my new poem titles on that. I promise I won't ask teen ink to change it to that.

You can have a title that doesn't seem to match your poem or takes a bit of guesswork for the reader: it is grea that way.

"It Will Be Good." (complicated semi-spiritual emotional story.)

"Upon his bench the pieces lay
As if an artwork on display
Of gears and hands
And wire-thin bands
That glisten in dim candle play." -Janice T., Clockwork[love that poem, dont know why, im not steampunk]

so heres a recurring theme i see in ur poems: they're really good and interesting, but in the sidenote when you explain them really doesn't make sense, or rather, it wasn't conveyed in the poem. maybe a solution would be to make it longer and add more details? like in that, you said it was about people turning away, but you never mention people turning away, it sounds more like you just cant handle everything going on anymore. even saying that you need help, or that a cry for help goes unheard, unseen, would add to your intended purpose. i say this to help, not to make you feel bad about your work. under the context of just the poems, they're great, but with the sidenotes trying to claim something that I never felt alluded to or like itwas about just feels out of place. simple fix, tho.
