Open the Door to Me

If you want to know me
If you want to know my struggles
If you want a real chance to gain me, to love me
Then you must see through it
You must bypass the calm, the kind
Know the free, the giddy
Survive the sadness and the anger
Cross it all and open my door

And there, there you will find what holds it all together

The all I fight for
The beauty I see in every photo
The strength of each dress
The ramble of each writing
And the emotion from each one
The heartbreak hidden
The warrior fighting
The sanity in the madness

ME

Hiya there again. Pastel here for a hopefully helpful review full of rambling Literally, this entire review is me rambling.

This poem is 100% perfect. I was sitting here for about five minutes, trying to find something to say that could help this poem improve; but I couldn't. This is one of the best poems I've read. The flow, wording, everything about it left me speechless.

The last line where it says "ME" was one of my favorites. I'm kind of getting a feeling that everything stated above this line describes the narrator, making them themselves.

I'm gonna have to end the review here because it is the definition of perfect and I could go on and on about how perfect this is but I have to do some chores. Cheers!

Thanks for the review! I'm really glad you found this poem so 'perfect'.

I love the rhythm and the meaning of this poem. Can't really see much to recommend as an improvement since it seems nearly flawless. What threw me off a bit was the line about the strength of each dress. Each individual one of her dresses has a strength? Or does it mean the influence of her or his attire? What exactly does that mean? Also a colon after the word "together" would be nice.

Thanks for the review. I'm really glad you thought it was so good. The dress thing is referring to the fact that I design dresses.
