An intense and deeply emotional poem.the self doubt that runs throughout the poem is heart breaking, it takes the reader deep into your very soul and on a trip of sheer agony that cuts to the very core.a beautiful, sincere and well written piece, well done Justin. |
Such a heartfelt piece full of raw emotion. The way the narrator equates with the bear, the cause of the problems he is trying to protect his love from is heartrending but also uplifting in that he knows the problems and is trying to fix them. |

I liked the rawness of this poem and could picture it in the lyrics of a rap type song, or rock type song even... Eminem springs to mind?? It had a beat to it, although not a specific beat, I really got into a flow reading the words. |

Do you ever feel like you can't do anything right? |
Truly tragic. The whole poem just filled with emotions that are so powerful and raw (like Saffie mentioned) that blow anyone away if not grounded to the ground. I love the last stanza since it ties the whole poem together, my advise for this delima would be to take it slow make her feel and let her know that you love her bit by bit that's how you'll get her back. Good luck hun! 5/5 |

A struggle that a lot of people might not know about is the animal inside of us, or beast or something we are ashamed to show others. I get this, the bear seems to be your "demon" that you are struggle to break yourself from. Your wife or ex wife fears this side of you because no one can control the anger that sprouts from this. You would do anything for this person, it is clear and that is sweet. Agreeing with saffie here, this poem is raw, but it stands out to me because of the way you emote in it. The feelings are forefront here and nothing else, sadness limits happiness and the love you have, but no matter what that love will be there. 5/5 |
