Hello Stephen

Just sifting through new poems that have been posted on site and saw this one by you.
This is brutally honest - even more so if literal obviously - but could almost be held up as inspirational to many too, I would imagine.
If I were reading this piece and felt like that, I would take a strange kind of heart that it wasn't just me. Simply because feelings like this can so often be isolating and lonely but so many (I have met them) feel like this about themselves.
I do not know you, but I do see that you express yourself wonderfully and honestly which is something more of us should try to do.
Keep writing - in my experience, it helps.

All the very best,
Ben

Wow. This is full of so many truths and so much in-depth emotion that I have never read before. Each line will be relatable to one person of another.. Some will be able to relate to many of them.
Neither one of us is perfect as we all have flaws but to somebody else we are perfectly imperfect.

All the best Stephen and remember you will be perfect to someone so do not give up.
Also, I am out of votes so I hope this gets nominated.

I felt the emotions you are currently having just by reading this poem.

I really like the way you use - - (your dashes) you're the only person to use it efficiently which is nice.

One thing I did not like in this poem is the constant use of (I's) It adds to the depth of the poem by making it more personal but I think in this poem it was overused and it can sometimes ruin the flow of the poem - In my opinion.

Yet everyone is shallow, swiping left just from my face
though no one really takes the time to figure if I'm worth the chase.
^ I assume you are referring to a certain app. if yes, then it was really well done. The reason why I like it is because it tells us on how much the world is superficial. And that society is too dense to even try to learn your true personality.

Here I am just wishing for a bag atop my head.
It's sad to know to be a catch I'd need a different face instead.
My personality is overshadowed by this ghastly face
one that I didn't choose to wear and one I never can erase.
^ This adds that society is indeed superficial. Don't worry about this my friend, there will always be that special someone who will like you regardless of all your imperfections.

The ending felt a bit rushed in my opinion because it didn't have a strong 'last line' But that's probably a good thing. The reason is that it conveys that you do not really care about how this poem will go and that you just want to write your feelings in the moment of time.

I thought that last line was the perfect end for the poem. It's so true, if we were to pick and choose how we could look or other aspects of ourselves, well.. we wouldn't be us. And you wouldn't be as awesome as you are lol. Who knows? Maybe you'd be the a-hole that no one likes. Lol I kid. But yeah, this is a relatable poem on many levels. Like Em said, someone will relate to at least one line, myself included. There are a few things I read that I've actually said myself.

Thank you for sharing this.

Another great one mate.. you had me from the first line to the last..
Perfect ending. Don't worry, society makes us think we aren't perfect, but we are. We are all perfect to someone out there.. :) Someone willing to look past all the things society tells us to look for.
:)
Once again, I love all your work.
