Hey, I've got your back.

Only those you trust should hear the pain.

Please, I don’t have to talk.

Even though I want to, I won’t.

Hello Flumadiddle! Kara here for a (hopefully) quick review!

Give me your soul.

With that aside, I'm not the best at poetry but here we go!

Bold = grammar and flow issues.
Italics = suggestions and overall
Strikethrough = remove
Underline = krazy Kara komments.

Hey, I've got your back.

Only those you trust should hear the pain. {Oh, I like that personification}

Please, I don’t have to talk.

Even though I {should}, I won’t.


My interpretation:



ANOTHER DEPRESSION POEM GAH

Overall:



This one was short and sweet. So yes, I did like it. Keep up the great work!

Why haven’t you given me your soul yet? --

Hi, Flumadiddle! Londone here with a review.

I really enjoyed this. It was a great poem, simple and mindful, and I really understood how the person telling the poem, wether it be you or someone else, was opening themselves up a little more and letting others know that "Hey, I'm here for you." And I appreciate you for that.

But, if I may dive a little deeper, is there possibly something else you could be digging at?

One thing I sort of got from this poem was that the speaker was sort of hesitant. They wanted to express their feelings, and talk about things with the reader, but they made themselves hold it inside. And maybe 'hearing the pain' made the speaker feel sort of trapped in their self.

And that may be okay with the speaker.

And if it is, great. Just don't overwhelm yourself, if it is you.

After this poem, I truly do trust you.

(Even though I did before xD)

Awwwww thank you! I trust you too! (welcome to the dwindling club!)

Hey Flumadiddle !!

This is Eros here with a review for you !!

Well... This piece is so short and so sweet... ! I loved it. It is a bit inspiring and has a deep meaning. It is not a poem, but still I get a feeling of a poem. This is the best part it has got. : D

It's basically a long form of the word HOPE... And it is written beautifully.

I don't have any words to describe it...

All I can say is that it is a WONDERFUL piece of writing....

Keep writing !
Never stop.
For we love to keep reading such amazingly awesome works !

Have a great day/ night !!

I like the acrostics use of the word "hope". Never have tried my hand at acrostics but this has inspired me to try it. The poem seems to be personifying the concept of hope by having hope speak as if it were a person. We certainly cannot trust "doubt" with our pain because doubt will only increase it by making us feel helpless. But hope can indeed be like a guardian because it provides us with the motivation to get back on our feet and keep striving to succeed. Only when we totally give up and accept our fate as hopeless are we truly defeated. As for the title I see that it fits in just fine with the poem. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Flumadiddle! Shane here for a quick review!
...
A really quick one, actually! XD

This poem has a very clear message, and I like that you chose this format, as I don't see it a lot anymore.

As for the poem itself, the second line feels just a tad awkward, as in the other three, you use mainly "I," then switch to "you" as the dominant pronoun. The only other thing I noticed was the title doesn't really match up with the poem.

Well, that's all! Fabulous job!

Acrostic poetry is my favorite style of writing to cool down with after all of the heavy hitting figurative language and cryptic foreshadowing. The message is clear and the only thing is I feel like the title isn't a match. It doesn't do the poem justice. But, the poem in MUY BUENO.
