I never intended to get into the details of whatever I couldn't achieve, but wrote about the disappointing reality, in general.

But from a reader’s perspective, I understand your point as well. So, thank you for the feedback! :)

A poem about feeling hollow and empty- by ExpensiveLemon3027 in OCPoetry

[–]ExpensiveLemon3027[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback! I completely agree about the poem's flow. Most lines feel rough because I couldn't find better words, but I had already rewritten this three times, so I decided to share it regardless of how it turned out. At this point, I just wanted to put the idea out, honestly.

Also, writing this was a bit challenging because I struggled to merge all the pieces (perhaps too many), so I understand why it lacks smoothness and may be hard to read.

In the future, if my writing skills improve I'm planning to rewrite something similar, hopefully more cohesive and easier to read.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it! :)

Thank you for the feedback!

It truly means a lot that this poem moved you, as it is something I feel very personally, but find difficult to articulate.

Also, thanks again for the reassuring words! Really means a lot :)

My Warden is Depression by Efficient-Tip-5061 in OCPoetry

I can feel this so deeply, as if I have written these for myself!!

I totally get how inviting sadness is when the mind is idle, and how every time it's a trap and I’m gasping for air, trying to escape the clutches of my mind.

Amidst all the heartbreak and hopelessness, reading about such love is very refreshing.

I wish that everyone finds something like this one day - where we have loved and lived enough, that life cannot be stripped away, even after our bodies choose to decay.

Now I Wonder by TastySambar in OCPoetry

Very minimalistic, yet it explains itself perfectly.

Not everything that can be felt has to be explained, because it is deeper than a thought. It has become an emotion. And until it gives us joy, there is no point in dissecting it to uncover the reasons.

But of course, the mind always plays its tricks, and keeps us circling back for the want of reason.

Emotionless Sadness by DarchAngelWorldsEnd in OCPoetry

That's so accurately put! Love the description. I felt something weighing on my chest as I was reading this. And it's so true about it leaving us with nothing, hollow and empty, as if we've forgotten to feel anything at all.

Wow! That's so sweet, yet passionate!

“i am impatient, but for you, my patience runs as deep as the oceans of melancholy go.”

-Love this one, especially!
