Hey there! Sorry if this is short, I’ll try my best to give some feedback.
Overall I thought this was a very short and truthful poem, it feels like one of those things you write while the emotions are raw (trust me, I’ve done it many times). I saw no spelling errors and was captured by the rawness of it all (if that makes sense).
Above all the writing was well done and I enjoyed it.
Keep writing!
God bless.

Hello Hello, I hope you dont mind me popping in with a quick review. I will apologize that this might be a little light on feedback. However, I still hope my thoughts can brighten your day. With all that preamble out of the way, I should probably start the review. Let's get into it, shall we?
Overall I found this a short but sweet read. I could feel the honesty that comes from this, I mean that in a good way. sometimes emotions and reflecting on your life can be more effective than flowery prose or fancy formatting. I feel this piece showcases this well as it was an engaging and relatable read.
The feeling of being an adult by society's standards but still being treated like a child is frustrating. I understand as in a way it's smothering and you would jump at any chance to be independent with things like college. I also can relate to things being strained and how weary that can make a person. All In all, I feel this piece shows the struggles of young adulthood in a compelling way.
Now after my thoughts, this is normally where I would put my feedback. However, like I said at the start, this will be a light one. The only thing I could think of is having a text version but Ellie seems to have brought that up. Instead of rehashing what she said I think I should move on to wrapping this up.
I enjoyed reading this a lot and I wish you all the luck. However, do remember that young adulthood is also about fun so try to enjoy this new stage of life a bit. As always, keep it up, stay creative and drink water!
Hey friend! As someone who is also currently in college, who started last year, I related so so much to this! I felt a lot of these emotions last year when I was moving away, so reading, this felt like I was reading something that I would've written to. I thought I would stop by and leave you a review:
but overall, the formatting was very lovely and pretty to look at! I like how you break up your lines. I find it very interesting, not exactly at the end of a phrase, but sometimes you break it off randomly. It looks really pretty like that and it keeps me focused on what you're saying. I also love how you started the poem and ended the poem with sort of parallel lines about wanting to go to college and being eager for it to start. Overall, fantastic work on this poem, and I look forward to reading more!
In this poem, you talk about how excited you are to begin in college. It will make you so much busier, which will mean that you won't be able to come home as often. It seems like you're home situation, or the writer's home situation, feels like walking on eggshells, like anything goes wrong at any moment. parents are fighting a lot, which is created an environment that feels very toxic and unsafe to live in. This poem talks about an eagerness for college to start for an escape out of this home.
One thing that I really liked in this poem, was how you talk about being 19 years old, but still being treated like a child. You're still always going to be their child, but even though you're grown, you still don't have the freedom that you should have. That feeling can feel suffocating. Especially if you're an environment where the people around you were talking bad about each other trying to make you believe and beyond their side. One thing I loved about this was the descriptive words that you used. I love how you describe the toxic environment almost as these fumes that you are forced to breathe in. It says if you're stuck in a place that is leaking gas or something bad. But there's no way to get out and you've lived there so long, but you still noticed it every single day and it's painful. I'm so excited for you to start college!
In terms of the formatting of the poem, I found it very easy to follow along with. I love the photo that you use in the pretty font too. One thing I would recommend is pasting a text version of the poem into the comments because that way I'm able to copy and paste text for the reviews
Your friend,
Ellie
Thanks for your review, Ellie! I'll use your advice on the text version for future poems.
