    Very strong sentiment in this one. There is real passion behind your words and it is a feeling I think most can identify with.
    A strong topic that held well throughout and ended with a definite thump. Keep up the good work and write about what you feel.

    I totally understand where you are coming from because I write for pretty much all of the same reasons. I love this poem. 5/5 I hope to read more of your poems in the future. You are a great poet:)

    Great Job Babe! This is sooo amazing! I love this stanza:

    I write because it's a passion
    But people don't understand
    That I feel a whole lot better
    With paper and a pen in hand.

    Kinda reminds me of this quote I have put in a few of my poems:

    I write my feelings,
    Through this pen.
    Understand the meaning,
    of my world within.

    You might catch yourself using it sometimes.

    This poem was Great I give you a
    5/5

    5/5. Great poem Loved it. I feel the same way that you have written down here. Sometimes people dont take the time to see what poetry has done for us. Sometimes it has helped us from dying of suicide or cutting. It's helped me. You write so amazing. Keep it up~

    I think most people could relate to this poem.. I think many people write for the same reasons.. It is the best way to let out all of Your emotions and feelings, and that is exactly what You did with this poem.. It flowed nicely and the rhythmn was really good too.. Well done 5/5 xx

    Great meaning, for sure. But the flow is off in some places. This line, for example:

    Then I would consider myself a fake?

    needs to have fewer syllables. You could replace it with

    Then I would see myself as fake?

    For example, removing two syllables. It seems to flow better, in my opinion, but keeps its' meaning.

    Word choice could be a bit better, but I definitely see what you're writing about, so 5/5.

    That was REALLY good. And I think it's true that many people look at writers as being melo-dramatic and all dark and scary just because we can write something on a dark subject. I really hate it when people judge before they know you or even read your work. I've felt that way for so long so thank you for expressing it so beautifully! Great job and keep it up!
