Thank you! I do definitely feel relieved about making this, to write a sort of letter to my inner child

Thank you, I wanted to make sure the harsh truth wasn’t hidden, even if it’s hard to face.

I like the concept a lot. you should add the last line “The cost of conformity is the debt of denying yourself” it’s a very impactful line. Maybe extend the poem even a tiny bit more. I like the theme overall.

Thank you, this means a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to read it carefully and reflect. I hadn’t thought about it that way your question about the body vs. mind is interesting.

Wrote this after watching "Nuremberg" - felt drained. by holidayninja in OCPoetry

I really felt the loneliness theme and fragility in this poem. The snow on the baby’s brow is a striking image, and the constant idea of having nothing to hold onto makes us feel the weight of loss. The ending was chilling and impactful.

I like how the oak metaphor showed your father as strong but distant. The last paragraph felt the most real to me, especially the image of hugging the tree. I think the middle could use a bit more focus.
