My first thought when I saw the word "poem" in this writing description was, "Yeah, more poetry, Drak, more poetry for your soul!"
Then, when I saw the form of this poem, I thought, "Wait, this is not literally a poem, if I know something about poetry at all."
And at last, when I read it, my mind was like, "..."
I just need to say that this writing is very interesting and quite new for me. After reading it, I now can say that yes, it IS a poem. It's a poem of feeling, a poem of soul, of a soul that has an important feeling hidden deep inside it. In the very end, we find out what that feeling really is. The hero of the poem suffers quietly and humbly. It is shown by using great phrases that describe the mental state, and I really love the way the author has done it. Maybe you can't call it poetry as from the literal point of view, but any person familiar with the situation will call it poetry of feelings and emotions, but not just any emotions - deep and true emotions, indeed. In simply constracted sentences I felt the strength of those emotions, as it often happens in real life, when you talk to a person and don't hear pompous words or loud complains, but you still feel how much that person grieves. The easier the way of describing a hero's state, the more powerful that describing is. And the author of this writing has done a great job!
I hope you will write even more of this, because your potential and talant have to find a right place to live. I think something like this poem, which looks rather like a diary record than a writing (it makes me feel myself even closer to the hero), is your strong point, dear author.
So don't stop writing!
Sincerely yours,
Drak.
