    In that case, I'd still suggest getting rid of the repetition and in general the format-wise aspects of newness and concentrate on the superficial aspects of the stereotypical poet: I ...

Every time I’ve gotten feedback that was hard to take it was usually hard to take because there was truth in it and I didn’t like that (or didn’t want to receive it). That’s not to say all harsh feedback is good or that we should be harsh for harshness’ sake, but learning to absorb truth without letting it break your inner core/break you is a lifelong skill that keeps your mind elastic and open to learning.
