This In-Between

Timmyjake here to give you a review!

This is perfect, no criticism required. You tell a big story, one that we all go through. Not an adult, but not a child. Perfect.

One of the reviews below stated that you didn't really need to capitalize each line, and that's true. But also remember that with poetry, everything is pretty loose. It is whatever you want it to be. And punctuation and spelling isn't really something that can be critiqued. But with that being said, capitalizing each line, even thought its part of the same sentence does kind of break things up when it should flow smoothly. Just me rambling on.

So, alas, I'm walking blind;
I'm walking by myself;
Hoping maybe I will find
a friend of wisdom and of help.

That last line... I just saw something that could use a little work. A friend of wisdom and help... To do what? I think you should add in a fifth line in this stanza and say something along the lines of. "A friend to guide me." Or something similar. Just a suggestion.
Happy writing! You have immense talent!

No criticism needed.

I actually really like this.

I like this a lot! I wasn't sure what I was going to get but I turned out liking it. My style is generally freestyle poems, since there is no rhyming boundaries, but you managed to make them "fit", or not sound like a forced rhyme. However, I do agree with rothwise, in which you don't have to capitalize every new line and it would give it some dramatic effect if you left some lowercase. Great job

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I clicked on the poem, but I found I actually really liked it. You were able to exemplify everything that teens/young adults feel. I know I definitely felt this way towards the later end of high school, and even now I still feel this way sometimes - feeling like I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with the rest of my life, but I'm much too old to just put it off until later.

One note I have...you don't need to capitalize every starting word of each line. In fact, I think if you follow the way your punctuation is going at the end of each line, and then have some (or most) of your lines starting with lower case letters it actually helps to read the poem more smoothly. It's a free verse, and free verse can often be very rough to read which isn't necessarily always a good thing.

Good job overall on it, I think you did a really nice job putting into words what so many of us are thinking!
