Another Day

Poem

Sunday night 9pm,
feels like every other day,
they're all the same.

Feels like every
other day -- they're all the same.

I feel the pain
and I am to blame.

Sunday night 9pm smoldering --

I fell again,
I can't help myself.

It takes a village
to raise a psychopath.

I am to blame
it's all the same pain again.

Won't break a sweat.

They say
when I''m broken
I feel whole --

It's all the same.

The poem feels breathless, in a way. I really like the repetition you used, because it points toward the poem's theme in a nice way. The double hyphen (--) is an interesting stylistic choice. What compelled you to use it?

I've got Emily Dickson brain, and do a lot of academic writing.

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, or look through the comment sections of any other post here, or click the links to the author's feedback above. If you're not sure whether your comments are feedback, or you have any other questions, please send us a modmail.
