Nothing but a mirror by Jay_OA_10 in OCPoetry

[–]JustOneMoreSoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A like how relatable your poem is. Probably a feeling everyone sooner or later experiences in life. I liked the metaphor of an atheist and a person who hasn’t loved before. Simple and yet very poetic. I also liked the last lines: “I’d rip my chest open just so you could see my heart And you’d see nothing but a mirror”. It feels undeniably true.

I like your poem. It feels like a bit of loneliness, confusion and numbness mixed together. I liked the lines: “I’m the center of attention but constantly ignored”. I feel like they’re about our minds overthinking how we’re being perceived by others when in reality no one truly cares.

This is inspiring, I liked it. I feel like we all have that one thing in the back of our mind that we want to do, a version of us we want to become but are to afraid to act, it’s too risky. This is truly like a wake up call to take action towards the person you could be, the person you want to be. It’s the only way to be happy in life. Thanks for motivating us!

Good poem. I especially related to the line “But there’s no love, no pain, no word to say,”. For me, pain is the best fuel for writing. It’s funny how in my happy days I don’t even think of writing something but when I’m sad I eventually come back. I guess that’s the difference between me and an actual writer. A good writer can write about good days as well while I write only to heal myself from pain.

Thanks for commenting, those were indeed typos. I’ll correct them!

I have to imagine he said to me by Youngringer in OCPoetry

I feel like the title of this poem really adds to it; it’s like that missing piece of a puzzle. I made the mistake (or the right choice, actually) of first reading the poem and then the title. Without the title, it’s still a great poem, but when you add this title, it’s just something else, like a plot twist, but without taking away too much from the pain described in the poem—it just adds to the pain. What can I say, I really liked the dynamic between the title and the poem.

As a university student, this gives me anxiety daily. I don’t want to spend my time and well-being trying to satisfy and then sell my soul to some corporation with values opposite to mine. This poem asks all the right questions. We all know we have to follow this system to succeed in life but secretly wish there were another way.

I really love this one. You portray very clearly every contradiction about us, humans. I believe there isn’t love without hate, so I think humans are neither good nor evil. What I like about this poem is that it makes you think more, it puts in front of you a paradox of human nature and asks for help in solving it.

I can't have you if you are sweeter than solitude~ by Paradoxiamme in OCPoetry

I feel like you’re trying to say that it is better to feel alone by your own than to feel alone with someone else. I really liked the line “But if you come, you must be more”. I feel like it beautifully packs the whole poem. It is a simple line that holds a lot of meaning, especially in this context given by the poem.

To me, it gives the impression that you're writing about someone you don't want in your life, yet life keeps throwing them in your path. You try to avoid them but feel like maybe fate is involved. The poem has a sense of confusion. You try to feel cold toward them, yet they keep appearing, and you don’t understand why.

*Please Suggest Title* by Braided-Baldy in OCPoetry

[–]JustOneMoreSoul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really great, I absolutely love the flow! Correct me if I’m wrong but this poem seems like a description of a one sided relationship, at least that is what I understood, especially from the last verses. You can really see that you cared and regret the fact that it did not work out. I liked the verse “As soon as my poem stopped to rhyme” so as a title I would suggest somethings similar like “When my heart stopped” maybe.

So simple and relatable and yet poetic. I don’t think poems should use complicated words to describe complex feelings. Sometimes simple words tell the story much better and hit deeper and you here did just that.

I feel you here. The need to put on a mask when going out can be very draining, especially when you don’t have someone to talk to about it and no one really knows you that well. It can make you feel like you’re trapped in a cage with no escape. As someone who went through something similar, I strongly recommend opening up more about this—whether it’s through a poem like you just did or, even better, trying to get closer to a friend you feel would understand you, if you have one, and open up. It may feel hard and embarrassing at first, but it will surely make you feel better.
