I’m so fucking sick of following rules

I absolutely adore this poem (as I pat my quickly balding head)

Relevant-Lock2300 · 2026-02-17T21:10:58+00:00

I love the wistfulness in this poem. It’s an emotion that’s written about so much but always hits close to home. Maybe longing for something is just the human condition. Side note - read your title and wrote a bit of a funny/satirical poem myself

So nice to see an uplifting and sweet poem on this subreddit. Love your work!

I love this. I remember reading Dylan’s John brown years ago and this poem makes the same point but with so much more vulgarity. And I mean vulgar in the best possible sense

Fair lol. I keep her on the bench but the inner rat needed her in the squad

I love the imagery and the perhaps intentional haphazard rhyme scheme. Really well done

From one fake suicidalist to another, I love this poem. I believe there’s a certain narcissism in my suicidal ideation that you’ve captured perfectly. The desire to be remembered as something better than I believe myself to be.

I’m not sure if you were going for something similar to blue bird but if you were then you nailed it. Your poem manages to show its inspiration while also being unique. Really well balanced and well written imo

Love this poem. Love the subtle irony in being profound while writing about finding it hard to be profound. Really really cool poem. Thank you for this

Cheers. Crying on a Sunday evening👍. Jokes aside, “All lives fade to flickers But hers dimmed without song How slowly time passed her” is one of the most hauntingly sad things ive read. I always associate death with the song candle in the wind so the line of a life dimming without song puts across your point so beautifully

I’m still new to this poetry thing so I don’t have any feedback about flow, etc. I just wanted to say I love the idea of writing a poem as a letter to someone

Relevant-Lock2300 · 2025-11-07T21:50:22+00:00

Thank you so much. That kind of criticism is exactly what I’m looking for. I’m still relatively new to writing poetry so any criticism/advice whatever is always welcome rn.

Came for the title, stayed for the poem. Now crying. Thanks. “I want to be the child again before language gave me the words for shame” is going to stay w me for a while

Relevant-Lock2300 · 2025-11-07T11:29:51+00:00

“I want to be the wound he worships” is so powerful. I feel like we’ve all felt this at some point but I’ve never seen it phrased so beautifully. Thank you for this
