take care of yourself and love yourself, as if you were your own parent. thank you for sharing such a valuable poem :)

This is touching and powerful. For such a short poem it says a lot. 

You could make it even longer without it being ruined, but then again it says more maybe cause it is short and conveys emotion well.

Hope you keep writing :)

I adore this. It’s amazing how such a short amount of words can convey such a massive message. I loved this so much. Like another user said, I’d love to see the same message from you but in a new way! Keep it up!

This should have more upvotes. Simple as that


Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that.
