What do you think of my poem, West to East?

West to East

I once believed…

Then everything fell from me.

A westward wind blew,

And the sun withdrew.

Caves called back, howling

Sketches to scribbles drew.

I once believed…

In rules and truth, too,

Measured meanings turned to stone.

One by one, a rock, I threw.

Caves called back, howling

Knowledge to innocence doomed.

I once believed…

In a future beyond morning.

The horizon rises above me now,

Worthless words I choose.

Caves called back, howling

I’d rather be dead than be with you.

    A poem of despair, anger and frustration. Life now means little to you and alternatives have to be found. You have tried hard on composing this write and I could make some suggestion's on how I would improve it, but you are happy with it though I feel that you do need to understand just how you are expecting the reader to comprehend your wording. Reread it and ask yourself "Is it how I really wish to word it"?

    It probably won't win any awards but surely writing it was cathartic and for what more can the writer wish?
