Hello Kat here to review another one of your lovely works this fine review day

Go Team WHY?

Short, sweet, and to the point I love it . There is actually a lot to talk about here for such a tiny poem. One minor flow fix make the last two lines :
"I'm not
That special"

At least, that's what I would do . Also, in such a short poem I think it's just better to capitalize the "I" and put a period at the end. I think that just gives it more closure in a shorter poem. This topic was very good because I am sure every poet feels this way at least once in there life, like they have this really passionate topic they just want to write so perfectly and can't. I love the raw honesty in your writings :)

Hey, I actually quite like this short poem. I think that a lot of us do feel this way, the way we as humans feel so insignificant to the world. One thing that sort of bothered me though, is the capitalization. Now I'm not going to go all Grammar Nazi on you, but you started off the first line capitalizing the letter 'I', however, in the fourth as well as the fifth, they are lower case. I suggest picking one or the other and sticking with it. Other than that, its really interesting. I feel like I can just ponder on this for a while, and that's one of the great things about poems; they make you wonder a bit more and challenge your own thinking.

Anyways, excellent job! Keep writing, I look forward to reading more of your works!

I didn't even realize I capitalized anything, my style is that I don't capitalize anything, so sorry for that!

I could really relate to this. The poem was very straightforward, I don't know if that's good or bad, but I guess it depends on what you're trying to evoke in the reader, just something to think about.Or perhaps you're just getting your feelings down on paper to get those creative juices flowing. Either way its a very authentic poem and I think that authenticity should be appreciated.

Keep on, keeping on!



i love writing and i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing
