Woah, was curious about the title and I did not expect a poem this amazing.

Seriously, I have trouble understanding poems, so you did a big one for me with making these lines clear an effective to undertsand. And I truly mean the whole thing, because every single line I can deduce something from it.

Also like the other person said, the font is really nice too!

And DAMN!!! These lines hit hard. To me, the "don't be surprised when you dig deeper that my heart is dried out, turned husky" hit the hardest.

The feeling of bitterness at your own self, and the desire to just be thrown away was mostly what I got out of this poem. Love the the thing! I have no issues, and thank you for writing this. It was very pleasent to read.

Found the title so interesting, decided to check out the poem :3
I like the font you chose for it.
Also, second line is really sad :(
And why does the "I only like me when I am someone else" line hit so hard??

Also also aiaiaia, I can see the negativity runs deep, when describing the inside like the outside (cool comparison tho and unusual conclusion too!) even if I feel like "hey maybe being the same inside and outside can also be an advantage, that you have nothing to hide?" but if you believe you are fundamentally unworthy... ofc you would see it that way :(

Oh interesting concept, harvesting a heart (and love?) I also didn't expect that!

Or the line abt fitting somone else's soul. I like that too.

Shouldn't it be "I am no longer someone"? (Or is the "not" deliberate here?)

Ohhh and the line abt making an orange bleed, that is also really good!

A really good poem overall. Full of emotion. Very fitting for my current mood! :(

Thank you for catching that typo, you're correct!

<3 I hope you know that you are worthy just as you are and that the only person and soul you need is yourself and your own. <3
