Ophelia

A take on a famous character this poem speaks of death as freeing. Nicely written in good verse.

Melancholia

I take this seriously as a dark poem but it could be read more lightly as one that longs for yesterday. It is well written and makes its point well despite how dreary it is.

Only a certain kind of writing can convey the pain you see in movies, the voice you hear in song. and the full picture of a painting that must\'ve taken hours, in words. And that\'s what this is. words that make you feel, hear, and see something so much bigger then yourself.

What am I or am I not?
Friendship said:
A powerful poem. Your poem grapples with existential themes, exploring identity, duality, and the human condition. It confronts the paradoxes of life, such as being alive yet feeling dead, and the contrast between wealth and poverty. The repeated questioning of \"What am I or am I not?\" underscores an intense search for self-identity and meaning amidst contradictions.

This poem voices confusion as to who one is. It gives many possibilities and leaves the reader guessing. Nicely done
