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. If you're not sure what that means, check out our [feedback guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/ocpoetry/wiki/feedbackcritiques), or look 

I really like your style and flow. “What we used to be is all we know, the neglected flower wants to grow” is a line I really like. On the whole the poem conjured images in my head of low points I’ve had over the years. Amazing poem, keep up the good work.

Thank you for this poem - it really spoke to me, as I feel on difficult days (like today).

I’d buy it. Seriously though I think you’ve done a great job describing the self-doubt and self-critique that plagues those afflicted with depression. It doesn’t read pretentious and conveys the writers emotion and experience effectively. Good job, thank you for sharing!

This is so beautiful. There are so many lines that built up your work so well like beautiful day, depression hits. I also liked how you spoke about the endless feeling of everyday being the same. Thank you for sharing this. Keep writing.
