Hi, J.C. here for a review, as promised!
First off, I have to tell you that I tend to shy away from anything 18+, because it goes against my morals, and anything about love or depression or hate, because ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, they are pretty much the same thing.
This, though, was a breath of fresh air.
His words, his hatred filled eyes, his clenched fist. And my tears,
To each moment of it I got present, in dreadful flashes of fears.
I looked at the ugly mirror. Is it really me? I punched to check.
You've done a good job of formatting this so it feels stuttered and jagged, which really exemplifies the essence of what I believe the poem is about. Long, flowing lines with big fancy words just would not have fit.
What use was the pain? Without you, death is all to have I strive.
At this point some might say that you tried to hard to make it rhyme and therefore the flow of the poem was shot. I think quite the opposite. Although the wording had to be changed to make the rhyming word come last in this line, you changed it in the right manner, and this line, along with a few others of its kind, lend a bit of sophistication to the piece.
While I don't necessarily agree with writing and focusing on the sad and terrible parts of life, this is a well written piece, and therefore, worth the read.
Thank you vluvswriting!
