Burried alive

Thomas chopurura

Buried alive

I can hear there voices ,
But they can't hear mine,
I've been screaming out my lungs,
Hoping they would come.
I've been raising my hopes,
Hoping l will be fine.
They had burried me alive
Deep down inside,
But I keep fighting for my life  
Hoping l will survive.

    Wow! This poem is so powerful and filled with emotion. I love the imagery of being buried alive and the determination to fight for survival. The use of repetition in the lines "Hoping they would come" and "Hoping I will be fine" really drives home the feeling of desperation and resilience.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to explore more vivid descriptions of the surroundings or the physical sensations of being buried alive. This could help to further engage the reader and immerse them in the experience. Additionally, consider varying the rhyme scheme or incorporating different poetic devices to add depth and complexity to the poem. Overall, this is a fantastic piece with a strong message that leaves a lasting impact. Keep up the great work!
