I don't usually say this to people in comments. In fact, I almost never do but; wow, I can really relate.

The comment previous to this one should have not complained about the poem being too short when they only gave a one lined comment.
This deserves a 5/5.
Here's why:

"Crying and laughing at the same time.
Gasping, struggling to catch my breath,"
From the beginning you've pulled the reader right into your work. Wonderful opening.

"only for you to still it away again.
Happy, sad this is just to much."
Only should have a capital O.
Again, great continuation of the first two lines. The second line here seems a little akward with the "happy, sad this.." but I don't really have any advice on how to change it.

"Confused emotions swirl inside,
tidal waves crashing and pounding me."
The first line seemed a little cliche but the second line made up for it. Although the second line seems a little long, it fits the poem perfectly. And the "t" in tidal should be a capital.

"Raw emotion tiring me out.
Leaving me open, venerable."
Vulnerable*
These lines are okay, not the strongest of the poem.

"Worn and torn, by the mixed signals
that you always throw my way."
I think you can take out "the" in the first line of this, it helps the flow.
I really like the ending, it ties the poem in together so well. And I really like the general idea of this poem, it's both fresh and refershing ;p
Great job.

Ouch... always double check your work before you send it in. Watch out for words that sound like other words (still and steal) and common mix ups like to and too, their and they're, etc. Also, be careful not to overuse commas. There's a time and place for those... not every line is one.

Still, good poem. Aren't emotions the core of poetry anyways?

I loved it!! Finally, the title and the poem have emotion! I was waiting to read something, i know you've got potential but you seemed to lack raw emotion, here it is.
Loved it

I really thought you did a much better job with this poem. The word choice was simple yet much better than your previous writes that I have read thus far. The emotions and such of this poem were clear and perfectly portrayed. I enjoyed this piece a lot. You did a great job. Well done, 5/5.

Nice raw emotion. not much flow though but alot of emotion...

This is a perfect description of being in love
in a very original style

Very amazing write! I loved it! The flow and word usage amazed me... and the way it was written, spectacular. I was trapped by how poetic this poem was. Very great job on this poem! 5/5 and it's more than deserving...

Ok, I take it back. This is your best poem that I read. This is an amazing write.

You were very descriptive with your words. You choose a subject and stuck with it. You really did a great job on this poem and I feel it's definitely your best work to date.

5/5

Change nothing!

I really enjoyed this piece.

It was relatively short yet full of so many conflicting emotions and filled with so much depth, while the imagery throughout is beautiful and creates beautiful pictures for me as the reader.

I found the flow to be good throughout, just rolled right off my tounge.

"Worn and torn, by mixed signals
that you always throw my way. "

^^ I frikken LOVE those closing lines, so many people will be able to relate to that and it makes for a powerful ending to the piece.

I think this is beautifully written.

Crying and laughing at the same time.
Gasping, struggling to catch my breath
only for you to steal it away again.
Happy, sad this is just too much.
I'd add a ; after sad .

Confused emotions swirl inside
tidal waves crashing and pounding me.
Raw emotion tiring me out.
Leaving me open, vulnerable.
This is a really good stanza , other than the second line . I think it can be rewritten .

Worn and torn, by mixed signals
that you always throw my way.

Short , but lots of emotion put into it at the same time . Decent . 5/5
