Judging comment:

This was a very reflective piece, and I liked the whole aspect of being "outside and looking in", like we know we have free will and control over our life yet sometimes we feel unable to dictate actions, or regulate certain emotions. Lovely flow here and this poem invoked many important questions in me as well. Can we simply choose to change, restart? It reminded me of the quote I've heard before that your circumstances do not define you, you can overcome them. Like whatever happened in the past, or whatever memories keep playing in your head, or when we will feel all we can do is sin because we are imperfect humans with a tendency to make mistakes often. A poem filled with doubts, desire to change, and wanting almost a light to be shown that there is more. These ending lines "I refuse to car, I refuse to cry" especially reached me, as we often get stuck in that time where we don't have care or concern for ourselves or for the world around us, so we then feel numb. But all this will hopefully pass. Take each day at a time. (4)
