Οn your way

Going down
Don’t come around
Just a ghost town

Shut your eyes
Ignore the sound
Plastic funhouse

Always said
You knew this
From the start

Ride or die
Won’t ever break
My heart

But now
Your on
Your way

Hear you have
a new past
That’s ok

The flame
Would burn out
Either way

You are
Better
With out me

The below is a computer generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

/10

The poem "Οn your way" captures the emotions of a person who has been left behind by someone they loved. The use of short, choppy lines and simple language gives the poem a sense of urgency and rawness. The repetition of "Your way" in the final line adds a poignant touch to the theme of letting go.

However, there are a few areas where the poem could be improved. The first two lines feel abrupt and disconnected from the rest of the poem. A smoother transition into the main theme would enhance the flow of the piece. Additionally, the line "Plastic funhouse" feels out of place and could be replaced with a more cohesive image.

One suggested line edit would be to replace "Plastic funhouse" with "Empty promises" to better align with the theme of broken trust and disappointment in the relationship. This change would also provide a stronger image for the reader to connect with.

Overall, "Οn your way" captures the emotions of heartbreak and moving on with simple yet effective language, but could benefit from some minor adjustments to improve the flow of the piece.

I think the line...

about plastic playhouse doesn't really jell and provide a cohesive thought behind the lines. "Of empty promises" would work very well here. A typo, with [your instead of you're] in the lines:
"But now
[You're] on
Your way"
I think everyone missed that! ~ Geezer.
