Lost in my World

Lost in my world
I am lost for words
I'll be waiting
Till infinity and beyond

I'll be waiting
Because anything's possible
If you've got enough nerve

I'll be waiting
Because I think its time to find out
What we're up against

I'll be waiting
Because people in the right minds
Never take pride in their talents

I am still lost
But I've got company
A couple of words

Author's Note

Anyone who is a big fan of books might know that there are hidden quotes from four different books here. In every stanza before the last one, I've included four quotes from four different books, after the line "I'll be waiting". Whoever knows the quotes, can write them in their review. I will be more than happy

Okay, here's a genuine review:

I must admit this is quite beautifully written, and definitely displays the main idea in an intricate, yet easy to interpret manner.
However; writing can always be improved, whether it's poetry, simple stories or more!
Here are some that changes that I think you can make to make the poem prettier/better-sounding.

Lost in my own world.
I am at a loss for words
(STANTZA 1)

And a couple of words
(STANZA 2)

Yes, these are minor changes but they make a huge difference in the way the poem is displayed in my opinion.

P.S These are just suggestions!

Forgot to rate the post but it's definitely a 100/100!

I consider myself an avid reader, yet couldn't tell you much about quotes. I read this for the poem before I read your note, and what I focused on was the repetition of "I'll be waiting"...For me, it created a build-up to a bigger concept.
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting...for? What? None cane know, you can know, or maybe not. In your world, there is a run-around in the mind of thoughts trying to escape. In the meantime, they wait. You wait.
I like this. Thank you for sharing your talent!

Thanks for interpreting my work so nicely, Seriana! I really appreciate it!

Being "well-read" depends on which books a person has perused that matter to the questioner... while the reader has their own list of titles that affected their sensibilities. Making light with "Toy Story" and a Jim Butcher novel (or so), a Professer Challenger thought or three, or even a "Who-vian" play-on the fantastical probably never-weres...

While few are monkeys - words do have a habit of finding an order depicting commonalities whether written or spoken. It's the intent of the writer or speaker that gives the meaning... or relevance.

I think your wandering through your memories is a timely and precious vision - some have forgotten just how to do that - let alone the why(s) they should.

Like Chris, I tend to read poetry & non fiction mostly .. but can see that you have put much thought into this page & I take my hat off to you for such a novel idea .... Pun intended :)

Thanks for your apprecitaion, Neville!

Well I am far fonder of poetry books currently than other sort of reading. Till infinity and beyond has to be Toy Story but alas the others escape me. I am hoping you will get more responses.

Thanks for reading, Chris! Yes, you are right, the first quote is from Toy Story
