I'm 14, and I'm going to enter this into an amateurs poetry contest I found in the newspaper. Anyways, I can only use 3 more lines (it has to be 24 lines or less) and I need a good last few lines to round it off. Please help?

Everyday you make a choice

You choose your attitude

What you make of the day

You choose your gratitude

Be loyal, or betray

You choose to stand up

For what you know is right

Or you choose to give up

Give up a hard fight

You choose what you say

And choose what you think

You choose everyday

To conquer or sink

You choose to love

Or reject, deny

Choose to be of

The truth or a lie

You choose to believe

Believe what you do

You choose to achieve

Or to be all through

Also any critiques, forced-sounding rhymes, flow issues you have, I'd be more than happy to hear. I don't expect to win but I want to enter something that is the best that I can do, you know?

  1. ahha i can finish this in a rap

    i guess change betray to betrayal or somethin like that it goes on with my rap using your poem

    continued:

    the love that you give

    is it even real

    the hate you burn

    you made the wrong turn

    come back to me baby

    let our love live

    the joy around us

    k that's all i can think of man i can extend this if you like  


  2. Try these lines:

    The choices are there.

    Which one is for you?

    Still it's for you to decide which one to do.

  3. Okay I am going to help you help your self now the poem refers to the choices you make in life so end it with the choice you have made be it good or bad.

    No one should ever finnish another poet's work or it wouldn't be the poet's work ok.

    So dig down deep into your soul and you will find the answer and an ending to your poem.

    And a poem isn't always about rhyme and meter always remember that so you don't stifle yourself and your creative abilities.

    And nice work might I add.

  4. It's a pretty good poem. I think that where you ended it is a good place to stop.  The first few lines are pretty forced, they should flow more like the rest of the poem does.

    Is it not against the rules of the contest to have someone else finish your poem for you?

    Good luck I hope you win!
