Helloooo! Hope you are having a lovely day, night, or whatever time of day it is for you! Quill here for a short review!
first thoughts
Wow, just wow. What an amazing poem. I can't even begin to describe how I felt reading this. I actually want to cry for awhile. And that is something that is hard to truly capture, pure emotion.
Something I really like is your use of parallelism. The way you repeat,
really captures and generates great emotion. Because by repeating these words you bring to surface things that people may not want to admit to themselves. As well as many other advantages this use of parallelism brings about.''I am wanted.
Dead,
or alive.''
I think my absolute favorite thing about this poem is how clearly it outlines the way you shoulder the disappoint, weather said it felt, we may receive from others. How we cannot be what others want us to be, even if all we want is to live up to their expectations. when we can't help but disappoint how it can make you feel worthless. At first the dead or alive line seems to have one meaning, they want you to do this, wether it kills you or not but in the end it almost seems to say, it doesn't truly matter if you are ''dead or alive". Very interesting points! You did a great job making this piece l!
no pressure suggestions
Now these are completely stylistic but I thought I would mention them anyway. No pressure to change them, just a few thoughts I had.
You might consider changing the way you break u your sentences? Sometimes there seems to be too many spaces in between and sometimes there's not enough. It makes a text s lot less daunting to rest if you break up stanzas a bit. But that's just my thought, it makes sense if that was your own stylistic choice! One thing I think might make things have a little more in the words is add some things like italics and bold? Completely up to you but it really could add a lot to your poem I think!
overall
I really really loved this poem. You did a great job! Every bit along the way made me feel and that's something that everyone reading poetry is looking for and really shows a lot about a quality writer!
Keep writing!
