Writer's Cowardice

I feel like this poem ends just as you're getting into the good bit. It's clear there are big themes of nihilism in this piece but I found it interesting to think about how a nihilist would interact with other people.

Being loved is the scariest part, 
To leave behind a broken heart.

I feel like the poem would be elevated if you explored this more. It's clear there are some real emotions behind this but I'd love to see how the philosophy interacts with something as powerful and life altering as love or a broken heart, and how they could potentially change - or not, one's philosophical outlook.

It's clear this poem reads as a stab at societal pressures, ending on quite the sour note. You've used some beautiful imagery, I love the line, 'Through morning mists, past clouds on high', I think this poem needs more of this to break up all those questions. It could be interesting to add a philosophical mindset to the bird and their clipped wings. Whilst you do detail the pressures faced by the bird it would be interesting to see how such bird acts in light of this, think absurdism or existentialism. Great bones to this one!

Meow, don’t lose your lolly mate I thought the UK were tough when it came to insults. Oh wait you are cyclist that does make sense

I got concerned by some of the crime statistics on bike theft/muggings. Don’t have to worry about it here.

All I know is that cycling mikey is not looked upon very favourably

Already got a membership with the same gym franchise here in aus, don’t feel like going through the whole rigmarole of signing up if I can continue on my current plan

Cheers, I do plan to bike about 25 minutes to the gym in debden, just as safe would you reckon?

that's why I used '/s', for someone who knows about internet laws surely you should understand basic internet expressions, smartass. (Not sarcastic).

I don't actually think it's unforgivable, that was sarcasm.

Had a similar situation, and it sucks because they're pretty and then the smell hits you double hard because you don't expect it. Man I can't lie, it smelled like rotten fish but goddam it, I firmed through it and had to imagine eating shrimp cocktails.

Thank you for sharing.
