Out of my mind

I love this. really well written piece.

I read this poem as that moment right before you fall for someone, you go through so many thoughts, questioning every little thing about your relationship, you feel as though you need them in your life and can't live without them. You visualize what everything would be like, could there be a future with them or not. It's not obsessive, but more of like an addiction I guess. We feel as though our mind is all over the place, hence the 'crazy'..The warmth they bring is something you've never felt, it feels so wonderful when they are near you. Yet in the end you have to think what's best for you, do you really really need this, or should you perhaps try to erase them from your mind before it's too late. I know the feeling all too well. I guess it's our vulnerability, we don't wish to get hurt but should we anyways since we might if we take the risk?

You've really grown as a writer over the years, your style has developed into something unique and specific to you. You have a really nice poem here, very easy to connect to. Well done!

Wow Chels! This is beautiful... I was captivated from the start to finish... I really love your word choice, metaphors and similes! You have a way with describing and comparing your emotions to interesting elements... like the photosynthesis part was so clever and I love that you mentioned that.

I really enjoyed the opening stanza. I like how you mentioned your brain is claustrophobic and full of thoughts of this person. That was an interesting description.

Well done! Amazing poem.

Your writes always take me to a memory... If ever I need to visit them, I read your poetry..

This attraction is a beautiful kind of elegance.. I feel it in every line.. It also, however makes me sad, because its almost like your telling yourself this will never happen or cant happen.. when we love someone in a distance, afraid to confront with true feelings, for fear of being hurt, its a sadness like no other... this is my take on it...

I can't begin to break it down any further... just a touching piece Chels!!

Hello Chelsea,

I find the psychological imagery in this poem very satisfying. In my opinion it can be very difficult to pen something so intangible so kudos to you.

My only criticism is that it feels unfinished to me, like there is an epiphany on the way but it just hasn't arrived yet.

Still really enjoyed it though. Keep it up!
