Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there’s always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there’s vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don’t make no difference
escaping one last time
it’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you’re in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Yes for sure Muteb
Lyrics really are held to a different set of standards than poems are. I don’t know if this is because they’re delivered differently, or because we’ve established different conventions for how we listen to them.
Rhymes that don’t work when spoken may work when sung. The closing consonant may be held until after the similarity has been established. The song may dip into dialect ("you can tell when I tawk that I come from Noo Yawk") without being obvious about it. And the fact that song _is_ stylized speech suppresses many details — compare the Beatles speaking accent with their singing accent. I’ve noticed that many professionally-written songs seem to rely on this, using rhymes that us amateurs can’t get away with, and it doesn’t always seem to be done for deliberate emphasis.
On the other hand: Lyrics sorta have to scan to the music, unless you’re dealing with operatic recatitives or avant-garde(sp?) compositions; that imposes a set of constraings upon style. (And non-rhythmic lyrics would be the very devil to perform…) Scansion may be a tighter requirement than rhyme is, since I can think of successful non-ryming songs (_Frank_Mills_ from _Hair_, or _Lullabye_For_a_Weary_World_)… but lyrics that give up even the grace-note connection to their song seem to break free and turn into recitation-plus-music, if they work at all.
(Writing good non-rhyming lyrics seems to be much harder than rattling off doggerel — perhaps because the constraints of having to rhyme force closer attention to choice of word and phrase. I’ve never tried writing poetry of that style, so I don’t know if it’s true there too.)
((Possible title for an empty notebook: "A Child’s Garden of Blank Verses.")) Perhaps the point here is that listeners expect songs to scan and rhyme, and work hard to make them do so unless they clearly aren’t intended to. That means minor breaks in the pattern are likely to be interpolated past, and major breaks can be used for emphasis… but it also means that if you break too often without doing so completely or making it obvious that the breaks are deliberate, it’s likely to be heard as trying- to-rhyme-but-failing.
So, does that answer your question?
um basmah your writing is very nice but it is very long maybe it is not understood by new people who wnat 2 learn english Do u agree ?

A "dramatic monologue" is "a poem in which a single speaker who is not the poet utters the entire poem at a critical moment."
