  • Comment from author about the poem: It's the first poem I have ever really written. So grammar and such are probably really bad.

It's short and simple but I feel it expresses my feelings well enough

    I love the implied meaning by having the whole poem inside a single lengthy stanza. Wish I thought of that! It’s kinda like how sleep paralysis feels like it lasts for hours when I’m reality it’s only a few seconds. Don’t worry too much about grammar when writing poetry. With poetry I find it’s more about getting the artful flow of words and projecting meaning onto them, which I think you’ve done just fine. It’s not so much as about the hard and fast rules of the English language
