Default A poem that I had no idea what to title

There is definitely parts in here that can use some revising. I really don't know how to fix it though. So I am posting it here hoping that I will get some feedback on how I can improve it.

Untitled

You are caught now, like a deer in headlights
You're stuck, you've been bound by your own fears.
You must break free or you will forever be condemned.

You can't say that a life isn't worth dying for,
And what if you gave it all and received nothing.
Would it really matter?

You've been waiting for this one day all your life,
it is nothing short of predictable that it is now presented.
But it is now that you must stop holding your head down,
You shant Give it up!
Get a hold of yourself now!
Or you might as well forget it all.

Can't you see, with each blow they become more powerless?
You must Dig deep within and find the courage to speak.
Are you really still bound by the fear?
Can't you speak or are you just doomed here?

You're there again, a deer in headlights.
You've given up.
To save your own life.

Like a deer in headlights is a very common simile.

And music that had lyrics started out as poetry with instruments! Smart one.

True poetry is not music but music can be poetry

I'm sure the problem wasn't that the lines sounded like they should be in a song, I think it's that they sound like they were taken out of songs that already came up with the lines.

Look, this arguement can go on for forever and a day. I would appreciate it if it could just be dropped. This is my work I'm sorry if everyone else would like to think other wise.

If you have comments that could improve the poem then please make them.

Why are "Give" and "Dig" capitalized? Are they important? If yes then why? If not then lowercase them.

Half of this poem is from that Scary Kids Scaring Kids song. Learn to plagiarize.


You are caught now, like a deer in headlights
You're stuck, you've been bound by your own fears.

You must break free or you will forever be condemned.

You can't say that a life isn't worth dying for,
And what if you gave it all and received nothing.
Would it really matter?

You've been waiting for this one day all your life,
it is nothing short of predictable that it is now presented.
But it is now that you must stop holding your head down,
You shant Give it up!
Get a hold of yourself now!

Or you might as well forget it all.

Can't you see, with each blow they become more powerless?
You must Dig deep within and find the courage to speak.
Are you really still bound by the fear?

Can't you speak or are you just doomed here?

You're there again, a deer in headlights.
You've given up.
To save your own life.
