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.

I can’t believe this is your first poem ever!! This sounds so professional, I’m impressed! I’ve been scrolling for a while here and your poem is the first one that made me comment!

Very filled with emotions. I strive for hopeless and raw poems, The struggle to hide feelings, the struggle to heal, the struggle to feel alive again…it’s beautiful! When I read it I truly felt it!

I’m looking forward to read your next poem. Good luck!

I agree with besma19, very impressive 1st poem. Well spoken!

I really like the close ending. I'm very impressed by the fact this is your first poem, keep going!
