Hello Pineapple! I would like to give your poem a short review since I found it very interesting and the style of writing used here is quite appealing.
Quick disclaimer before I begin, I am in no way a professional or anything remotely similar to that so my advice may not be particularly correct!
First of all, I would like to say that I love the themes you have expressed here. Experimenting with the idea that a word can have many different meanings is one of my favorite things to see in literature, especially in poetry. The first stanza is beautifully written and the rhyme between "calm" and "wrong" is very satisfying. I really like how you used fairly simple lines all throughout the poem, it really added a nice effect to the message you were trying to convey.
There are I couple of small things that felt a tiny bit off to me. I did not quite grasp the rhythm or flow of the poem, of course poems don't always need to have a set rhythm but maybe it would be a good idea to add a pattern that ties together all the stanzas. I am not the most perceptive person but I also did not really understand the metaphor behind the last two stanzas. This is probably entirely just me being bad at understanding poetry though, ha-ha!
Overall, a fantastic effort and I really enjoyed reading and analyzing your work!
