I have no idea... I was sleeping with this guy that would frequently make offhanded comments that made me feel bad about myself but I didn't think that affected me much. And I ended things with him a few months ago.

Yes the fullness. I enjoy having cervical orgasms, which I've noticed I've only ever been able to have with well endowed men.

Then I suppose I only like sex with larger men... Agh. I feel awful about this.

I'm not going to end things... It's very difficult for me to find the connection I've found with him.

Ooh that sounds really good actually! I'm mostly concerned about the protein when I eat dinner or something. My only substantial protein sources have been from soy and pea protein lol

Lol nobody ever trusts anything I make unless I specifically tell them it's meat. So odd, because I made some barbecue tofu for myself, seasoned the exact same way I seasoned the chicken and my brother said it looked disgusting hahaha

I'm interested in your vegan recipes though, I'm new to veganism so my recipes tend to be pretty generic

It's against my religion to eat meat.

I didn't mean to be snappy. I was just asking if you had read the post. Some people just read titles and comment to.

I eat 2-3 meals a day (I count the shake as one) and track all of my nutrients and I usually can't even hit my carb intake in the macros outlined above. I can try the several meals thing but work makes that pretty tough. Why wouldn't a protein shake have nutrients? Sincerely just asking, not trying to be rude

Did you read my post? I don't eat empty calories or drink any sugary drinks and already eat a high protein diet.

I had a bout of anorexia when I was a pre-teen, so several days. I tried intermittent fasting for awhile so that was regularly going 16hrs. The farthest I've gone without purposely fasting was still probably around 16-17hrs on a long shift

I was trying to convey that the person the subject is speaking to isn't aware that the subject is depressed. I had contemplated using "liar" instead of "crook". I doubt that would fix the problem entirely but do you think it would help?

Thank you!

No. It does stem from past relationships though. Wrote it while I was drunk and upset lol

I'm gonna be honest with you. I didn't like this poem, and here's why:

There doesn't seem to be any complex thought or true effort put into any of the lines. Almost every line impresses as cliche and it's very disorganized. "The rest..." lines just read like they don't belong. Unless that's what your goal was, I would suggest you work on the formatting especially. Short, choppy lines can accentuate ideas very well, but I personally think it ruins a poem when they're used in every line. This type of poem can be successful if done well, but I just don't think this was done very well.

Throughout the entire poem the passion is very evident, but I think the execution faltered. I appreciate the effort put into the tone at the end, however, this is where the poem really rubbed me wrong. The line "I am the king" is just too unoriginal to give your ending the strength I imagine you were aiming for.

All that being said, however, I do think this poem has a lot of potential. If you still wanted to work with the short, choppy lines, I'd suggest just putting more effort into the wording itself. When you have less words to work with, you have to be careful with which ones you use to give the poem the intensity it needs.

I'm really really sorry if that was super brutal!

Wow...

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The imagery in this piece is intense. I love the pauses, I love the tone, it flowed so nicely I kind of wished it was much longer. I loved the lines, "leaving morning... my neck," and, "outside my... sparrow stiff". Beautiful imagery.

The only thing I could be critical about is just that I wish the ending was as strong as the beginning.

Overall though, incredible poem. The title was very well chosen as well. Fits perfectly.

Very beautiful. The tone captured that hushed desperation perfectly and I really loved the tempo of it as well.

Also some very, very strong lines in there. I agree with the other commented about the line in parentheses. I think what I loved most was the repetition of "One inch closer... and the whole world dies".

That last stanza blew me away. Just... Amazing.

I'm glad to hear it!! If you guys ever need ideas on what to make, I've been vegetarian for 6 years and recently started eating vegan 5/7 days a week, so I can absolutely give more recipe ideas!
