Okay, this is really bad, so if you're reading this I'm sorry for the waste of the next few seconds of your life if, that is if you go on to read my poem!

There’s a glass wall
Between myself
And I,

Which separates a
Dream from
A lie,

I stare into that
Looking glass,

Wishing
I could change places,

Wishing
I could find that magical
Wonderland,

Where I could be set free,
Where I could lose
Myself and I,

Where I could,
For once,
Be me.



thank you for your time,

Roon

Hey :), I actually really liked this :D. I like the rhyme at the start and end especially: There’s a glass wall

"myself

And I,


from

A lie,"


"Where I could be set free,



For once,

Be me."

I think it is very effective :), Keep up the good work (Y) :D

Hello :)

im so glad to your reviewer for today. first off this is really good. i love the imagery with the wall. And your rymthe sceme was very creative. :) I think it would read better if it was sperated into stanzas instead of just lumped together, but other than that this was really great. I would love to read some more of your work :)

Hey!

I really liked your poem! I was pleasantly surprised I must say.
I loved that glass wall line. Somewhat cliche, but nice.
I also enjoyed the ending line. I totally get your concept. You want to be yourself but you feel afraid to do so because you're afraid people will judge you. I interpret your poem that way at least. I'm a little new to poetry, though. Good job. Keep writing. :]

I liked this.

And you shouldn't put yourself down so harshly. You have a natural talent and this poem reflects the feelings a lot of teens have about themselves.

Well done

This poem is not bad at all.It does look like you have put in quite a lot of effort into this.

The idea of the poem is unique and using the metaphor of the glass added more meaning to the poem,separating it from other similar poems with the same theme.at

The only thing unnecessary was the very first line at the top of the page,before the beginning of the poem.If the poem is actually bad(which in this case is completely untrue),it need not be mentioned as you will receive advice on how to improve it.

I really liked this, the imagery was great and the idea made perfect sense.

You need to build up your confidence, because when you're unsure about yourself, it shows up in your work. This was fantastic and if you can write this with so little confidence, I can't wait to see what you can do a few months, or even a few weeks, from now.

Keep up the good work :)

OK
Firstly, I love your poem. It so totally reminds me of me. I wish I could find the cool, confident person I see behind the looking glass!
I like the rhyme at the beginning and end, but one little tip that has been pointed out to me in one of my poems: punctuation.
Remember you need punctuation at the end of each line - comma = breath, new line = no breath!
I would usually recommend you check by reading out loud, but your lines are nice and short and snappy, so you wouldn't run out of puff.
I guess punctuation is a personal choice, however, and may not be your "thing."

I like your short stanzas (verses) - they're like mini haikus! Maybe you should give haiku writing a try?

Keep writing
It wasn't a waste of my time!

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened...
Before. ---Dare you to move by, Switchfoot---

I really like this poem. You did a good job writing it. Keep writing



Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
— Brené Brown
