As Long as I Breathe

oh, hi there; didn't see you! you've reached r/OCPoetry; this is a workshop site where you can share, read, and talk about eachother's poetry & etc. to post your own poems, you need to give feedback to 2 other writers. if you aren't trying to share, you're encouraged to give feedback, but aren't required. try to be nice, questioning, and specific. if you can't do that - eat a cabbage and come back later. try to give feedback to a writer without any feedback. lastly, read our feedback guide , other writer's comments, or this author’s feedback links. if you still aren't sure whether your comments are useful ‘feedback’, or you have any other questions, send us a modmail!

Comments on the English:
Stanza 1 - Bloody knuckles and fists 'punch through walls', rather than 'tearing through walls'.
Stanza 2 - suggest replacing 'contrary to its host' with 'unlike its host' - less clumsy.
Stanza 3 - Perhaps 'Breaking through barriers' rather than 'breaching..' which is a bit archaic.
Stanza 4 - 'Till the light in my eyes no longer shines' - shine is plural, would be OK for 'the lights in my eyes'.
Stanza 6 - "This is the last thing that will do" is a bit prosey. Perhaps "This will be the last"?

I have a problem with Stanza 5's "That not many seem to witness nor possess", not because of the English, but because you don't make any attempt to justify that statement anywhere else in the poem, and it seems a bit sweeping.

“a spirit not exhausted contrary to its host” i feel like this is a very powerful line about a possible conflict between mind and boyd. your body being aware that this movement will last until passion is gone - it’s weariness is shown very well in your poem.
