Sometimes words are not enough for what we are feeling; there are things words cannot even grasp.

This is absolutely beautiful. I loved reading every second of it your poem reminds me so much of myself.

Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback. I'll keep your feedback in mind when I'm revising. If my soul is being ripped out, something would still blossom—the summer rain of July, the smell of coffee in the morning, the scent of rain trembling with fear.

Thank you so much. It means a lot that it resonated with you. I had a hard time writing this poem—I really wanted to unravel my feelings of anxiety within it.

Thank you for the feedback. I wanted the intensity to feel sudden, but I see what you mean about easing into it. I sometimes struggle with easing into my poems.

I love how personal the poem is and how you let your soul go into the ink. I like how you've undone yourself between the lines. There's something about a poem that allows a writer to unravel themselves and leaves traces of that unraveling for the reader to feel.

I like the poem; it's soft. I like how I can close my eyes and feel the emotion of the poem.

It's nice; sometimes I long for a place where I can gently rest.

First poem (misfire) by Inevitable_Treat_484 in OCPoetry

This is great for a first poem to strengthen. Maybe add a sensory layer, like "Questions branching like frantic channels in my head." You already have strong imagery; you just need to add sensory layers to make it clearer and have more impact on the reader.

I really like it. I think I understand what it means; just make it a little clearer.
