This poem puts in poetic form that old saying that if you have nothing good to say say nothing at all. Well done. Happy New Year to you

Go cry far away
sorenbarrett said:

Although this at first look seems harsh and rejecting it speaks with reality of those that feign love in mushy, gooey tears and blubbering. It asks for reality where love is shown not told sobbed or whimpered. Where action speaks louder and one is not suffocated and drown with tears and promises. It is in truly loving someone to know when too much is too much and what a person needs now what you want to give them. A poem asking for love not meeting one\'s own needs. A fave

Go cry far away
Friendship said:

A substantial amount of anger is conveyed in this hostel-themed poem. The poem explores emotional turmoil, specifically the dichotomy between vulnerability and societal expectations of gentleness, sweetness, or accommodation, as the poet struggles with feelings of anger and discomfort when confronted with perceived weakness, both in themselves and others.

A most interesting group of thoughts contained in this poem that seems more enigma that straight thought. Well written

A poem that works its way through the beliefs of a religious mind. It feels dark and ominous. Well written

Raw and emotional this is a torn piece of passion a dream fragment that is dark and with eyes not yet open drifts through space. Well done
