Scared

In Depressing Poems

I am scared that i am going to get hurt.

I am scared that you will leave.

I am scared that you will see that you don't need me.

I am scared that I will be left behind.

But, don't I have a right to be scared?

Don't I get to hide?

I was scared at the beginning,

Now I am ripping at the seams.

Trying not to look into your eyes,

to not get lost in the broken globes.

Scared to admit it.

Scared of what you will say.

I am scared to tell you that I love you.

Scared of what is bound to happen.

((I will add more as I edit it.))

Your poem is very personal and you can see the effort put into conveying emotion. I like it! Keep up the good work.

This is a well-written poem reflecting emotions I'm sure all of us feel. I could feel what was being conveyed from this poem, and I like how you consistently started with the line "I am scared". The metaphors also add to giving this poem a sense of imagery.

I didn't find any more grammatical errors that weren't already pointed out... so I'll say again that this is really well done and I hope you will continue adding more to it! :D

Hey Bellarke! Zenith here for a short review.
First of all, I would like to point out the minor errors that you would figure out anyway if you reread it.
I think u forgot to capitalize "i" in the first line.
But to make the flow better, you could write instead " I am scared of getting hurt"- 2 i's kind of make it repetitive.
" I am scared of you realizing that you don't really need me " - Present of "that" twice makes the sentence really long.
These are only suggestions and ofcourse you can choose to ignore them.
I didn't find any grammatical mistakes as such, but I'm not great in that anyway.
One thing I found a bit off is that the poem ended abruptly. But since you have mentioned in the end that you'll add more, I guess it's okay.
Also maybe you could have used a bit of imagery or literary devices, but even without them the poem reads quite well.
And apart from that, I liked the whole theme. It's as Honora said is relatable. The lines that struck me the most were-
" But, don't I have a right to be scared?
Don't I get to hide? "
They kind of portray a vulnerability that really comes through.
Overall good job. Keep Writing!
