    Wow wonderful poem, great use of vocab as well. The only mistake I found is in the fifth stanza the first word, you might wanna fix the spelling mistake.

    Other then that this poem is fantastic! I especially like the lines:

    "Memories of pain,
    of sorrow and regret;
    memories I would rather forget.
    A wasted life with nothing achieved;
    missed opportunities and failure."

    Very powerful. Keep up the awesome work! 5/5

    Yes this is splendid, although it lacks a regular rhyme that i would normaly look for, i find that the content in this case is far superior, and so it is equally as good as any other with a rhyming pattern.

    A wonderful poem indeed,

    That's a cool piece. Words were great as was the imagery. An astonishing piece that poses interesting and profounding thoughts when read.

    Wonderful words and abeautiful vivid image. Your title was catching and felt like it really did belong in this section. It also felt deep for two words.

    I think your strongest stanza was this one:
    Its a face full of wisdom,
    a face with a smile;
    a frown only every once a while.
    A full life, brimming with happiness;
    rewarding experiences and success.

    Even though the while threw me off.

    I think our weakest one though was this one:
    Waking from a slumber,
    I look through a glass,
    with a yawn and a sniff
    I gaze at a familiar face.

    It just didn't feel right with the others. It's really good just not as powerful.

    "a frown only every once a while."

    - I don't think that sounds quite right... maybe "once IN a while" ??

    This poem is very original and different. The only part I don't get is who you see when you look through the window... because you don't say it's a reflection of you... Anyway, you did well. 4/5. Keep up the good work!

    Memories of pain,
    of sorrow and regret;
    memories I would rather forget.

    I would change this to

    Memories of pain,
    Sorrows and regret.
    Some of which I would rather forget.

    Removes word repetition and also remids us that things we regret we should remember and learn from.

    Not over-elaborate or too prosey. A good message of self awareness without saying too much.

    Nice effort.
