Fall Apart

Literature Text
A terrible tragedy it is
To watch somebody that was always so strong
Fall apart.
A pillar of strength is not meant to fall
But still it happens.
To see her tear stained face
As she weeps openly about anything
And everything
That has ever done her wrong.
Sometimes she's just babbling nonsense
Other times
She's spilling her heart out to the world
And you know what?
No one's listening
It could be because
They don't know how to act.
This girl has always been strong
She held others up
They didn't know that she was slowly drowning
So they ignored her
And hoped she would stop.
Or maybe it was because
They didn't really care.
She was just another pest
That they had to deal with.
Everyone has their own agenda. And guess what? You're not on it
She asks for so little
And even that she doesn't receive.
Is it really any wonder
That she fell apart?

I decided, since your newest one is long because it's got 10 things from that Journal lit challenge, and since your oldest work is still new, that I'd start at the oldest and go up.
WOW THIS HAS A LOT OF VIEWS!
Good work on collecting views and Comments on this, because usually literature gets pretty overlooked on dA.
Wow.
This reminds me why I can't critique poetry well, but I'm still going to try, and I can think of at least one thing to say.
I like how the words are spaced on the lines. Can't remember what that technique/practice is called... My favorite use of it is in the beginning, where the lines with the most punch are short and alone on their lines... At first I was going to say it felt weird when that stopped, but I won't now, because if that had kept going through a poem this length, it would have gotten, like, rhythmical in a way that a poem like this shouldn't, so that's good.
It's like this has 3 phases. That very first part, then the part where that stops and then a longer part with itallics coming in.

That's my favorite line here.
I wish I could say more, but I don't know how to critique poetry, so if I say anything more I'll just be putting out nonsense...
