Excellent, I really enjoy your writing. they are all delicious.

Amazing poem, I can't find words to describe how much I like it, how much I can relate to what you're saying. Anyway, excellently written. 5/5

I liked it. Again great word choice and wonderful flow. I gave it a 5/5.

"It's easier to exist
but harder to be alive."

^wow. Just wow. I know this feeling...it's much too real. I read this quote that said "There's a difference between living and being alive." This poem kind of goes along those lines.
I love the free-ness in your poems..the way you just say what you're thinking or feeling. Some people worry too much about the poem sounding good..but to me the emotion is what matters more.
This is another beautiful piece. Your comparison to shells is excellent. Great work! =] keep it up.
