The unknown someone

M PRIYATHAM Naik 2000 (Andhra)

Lyric
Known someone known someone
Known them for a while
Known someone known someone
Until They found someone

Known someone known someone
Before time never freed them
Known someone known someone
When nights just blinked away

Known someone known someone
Until loosing them is the fright
Known someone known someone
Until they became unknown

About this poem

After a while you may not find yourself or you may feel lost, you may be afraid to loose yourself or someone else, a person you knew very well, all of a sudden seems new, can be yourself or someone else..

    Wow, what a captivating and thought-provoking poem! I love the repetition of "known someone known someone" throughout the piece, it really emphasizes the depth of the relationship being described. The imagery of time passing and nights blinking away is beautifully crafted and adds a sense of melancholy to the poem.

    One suggestion for improvement could be to delve deeper into the emotions felt when losing the known someone and when they become unknown. Expand on the feelings of fear and uncertainty that come with not knowing someone who was once so familiar. Adding more descriptive language could enhance the overall impact of these moments in the poem.

    Overall, this poem is evocative and engaging, with a strong sense of nostalgia and longing. Keep up the great work!
