Help me to prepare for the writing test, please :)

I am planning to continue my study at the US. Therefore, I need to prepare myself for the GRE test. One of the sections of the test is Analytical Writing Section. On that section, there are two tasks, the first is to present the test-taker perspective on an issue, and the second is to analyze an argument.

Now, I would ask for your favor to overview my writing on every posts of this blog, so I can improve my English writing :)

Thanks in advance ;)

What if I have gone wrong?

I watch the Western sky
The sun is sinking
The geese are flying South
It sets me thinking

I did not miss you much
I did not suffer
What did not kill me
Just made me tougher

I feel the winter come
His icy sinews
Now in the fire light
The case continues

Another night in court
The same old trial
The same old questions asked
The same denial

The shadows closely run
Like jury members
I look for answers in
The fire's embers

Why was I missing then
That whole December
I give my usual line:
I don't remember

Another winter comes
His icy fingers creep
Into these bones of mine
These memories never sleep

And all these differences
A cloak I borrow
We kept our distances
Why should it follow I must have loved you

What is the force that binds the stars
I wore this mask to hide my scars
What is the power that pulls the tide
I never could find a place to hide

What moves the Earth around the sun
What could I do but run and run and run
Afraid to love, afraid to fail
A mast without a sail

The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking
Another day begins and now I'm thinking
That this indifference was my invention
When everything I did sought your attention

You were my compass star
You were my measure
You were a pirate's map
A buried treasure

If this was all correct
The last thing I'd expect
The prosecution rests
It's time that I confess: I must have loved you

A question had been asked to me this morning, "What if you have gone wrong with your feeling?" "What if your feeling has covered every fact that you should discover about someone?"

I paused. Actually, that is the same question that I have been asking to myself lately. The feeling is there. It is really exist. But, should it be gone, it is my consequence to bear myself for the lost. I may will deny the lost, but I will not deny the love.

My Inspiration(s)

I have a strange habit from my teenage years. It is when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do before doing anything else is to look myself into the mirror and smile. I like to see my chubby sleepy face contracts against my tiny eyes. The smile always gives me inspiration for the rest of the day.

My other inspiration is -i know you will laugh reading this- Doraemon. Whenever I feel tired and need a bit cheered up, he always gives me strength to carry on, to see that a brighter future will always be there to be made.

It's a bizarre thing when someday some of my friends told me that I have a smile that so much look like Doraemon... What a self-centered person I am if that's true! Having my inspiration as.. myself?

Not my first English blog

Before this one, I actually already have a blog on which I continually wrote in English. Sadly, because of my foolishness, I was curious of what would happen if I clicked the 'Delete this blog' link, and I clicked it! Ehehe... Anyway, it was years ago.

And now on current year, the day before yesterday, my boss read my blog which is written in bahasa Indonesia. "Hey.. you write quite well!" she said. "You should start to write something like this in English, you know. It's very good to improve your writing skill by.. writing! You're planning to study abroad, right?"

Yes she's so right. So now, I'm beginning a new habit. To write in English! Any corrections or suggestions regarding my English are very welcome. I want to have 50.000 teachers, including YOU!
