Apathy, Decorations

I’m giving you my honest apathy,
never behind your back
arm in arm
with knives, never.
Never in front of you
holding garlands
or plastic smiles
those decorations, never ever.

Hey Shoaib

I liked the concept of this poem. It shows how honest the writer is and how they promise never to fake emotions and go behind their back. I like how you use honesty in this poem and how you show examples.

I really liked this ending to the poem. It was a short poem but it doesn't even need to be any longer. It was the right length and it's shortness seemed to represent how clear the writer was being. He was just promising to be honest, nothing more. No need to drag it out ;)

I liked it. Keep writing,

I actually like this poem. It shows how little you care about somethings and how if you do not care for someone or something you will say it outright showing real emotions.
It reminds me of how people act like they care in front of you but will secretly rip you to shreds when you are out of earshot. You may want to work on the title a little bit but other than that, it is short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you for giving me the chance to read it.
