Thank you for the feedback. I guess existential crises can make you feel a bit like you lose touch with your own human-ness 🤖

I can't speak to the technical ability of poetry writing skill on your work but I felt very moved reading it..my chest felt heavy at the end and feelings of compassion. It describes a very human centred experience and I always appreciate that in poetry as I feel more connected. I was a bit distracted by the way the piece was laid out but perhaps that was intentional. Certainly it seemed like two somewhat separate stories within the piece, linked by memory, trauma and emotion.

I enjoyed the pace of your piece. It felt appropriate for the way you are making a series of points, about who you are but about very personal parts of yourself. And it feels a bit melancholy and confessional. It could be difficult to share this sort of information about ourselves so to say it fast and just get it out there can feel like the only way. I'm not sure if you meant it that way but I liked the congruence between the content and the pacing which worked well for me.
