If Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe collaborated, this poem would be their greatest piece.
I love the premise of a speaker addressing their own soul. I think that idea makes the poem extremely unique. I also really love the rhyming. To me, rhyming in poetry is a pain in the ass. To you, it seems to come naturally and doesn't at all derail from the poem's meaning. In fact, I think it adds to it.
I think it's interesting how I don't quite understand what caused the author's soul to be so "battered," yet somehow I relate to the agony and pain left behind from the torture. I also feel really bad for the protagonist. Very well done.
Keep writing like this. We need more Poes and Shakespeares in the world. I'm sort of tired of reading Milk and Honey types haha
Thank you so much for sharing.
All my love
