Okay, so I don't play Final Fantasy
So a lot of this goes over my head.

I like the kind of poetry that you write in all caps because your emotion is like that and then you just decide to keep it that way because it fits.

Now some poems you can look deep into and find all sorts of statements about life or whatever. This one... May be hiding something. There's probably something in that last line about eating nothing, but right now, I can't find much at all. I can interpret my own things from this, but it doesn't make much sense if I explain it to someone else.
I assume this was a satiric poem of some sort, so satiric that even the categories (Dramatic and health? lol) are making fun of something.

And if this is really about the patriarchy I'll eat my hat.

It pulled me in though, and made me question things. Also reminds me about how offended people can be when someone says something like, "oh you're mexican? lol go home to your tacos." "Oh you're chinese? Have fun eating dogs!" People don't seem to understand how hurtful those kinds of things can be, so if this was secretly about that, then kudos to you.

Keep writing. Maybe one day I'll understand.

It's kinda weird- your style, admittedly- and I don't quite understand what this is about. I'm very, very confused. I'm not sure what to think here. Also, just curious, why do you have that last bit with the line through it...? I don't get it. Would you please explain this to me? Or was this actually just completely random...? I dunno. I want to know though. As a great Dalek once said... Explain! EXPLAIN!

Your style is weird but interesting and unique, keep up the good work.

I really liked it! It was different and honestly weird, good weird. I like this good weird. Im also confused, but happy confused, does this make sense? I hope it does. Anyway, make more of these, okay? Because these are different and original. No critic and just amusement. I love seeing new things, and you defenitly did that!

Good luck!
