    Interesting, though I must say I'm confused about the material. If that was your intention, that's fine. However, if it wasn't, there are a few lines you could revise to draw the reader in further.

    line1. I don't like 'non-understanding' hyphenating an adverb verb doesn't help at all. In fact it makes for a rocky introduction to the poem. Also, 'non-understanding' or 'misunderstanding' is not very descriptive especially since it's a modifier without a specific subject or reference. Is it your confusion (if so then about what? Or is it someone elses? There aren't enough clues as to what you're referring to.

    line5. From understanding to investigation... still lost me. Maybe you need another stanza.

    line8. typo: 'complexions' should be 'complexion.' grammar: you need a comma after faded

    line9. awkward flow and confusing context.

    lines10,11,12: Especially 10 - I really like these lines. Too bad I can't contextualize them.

    The first two stanzas lead me to believe this is some altercation with an authority figure and the narrator's loyalty to his/her friends is complicating things. However, I'm totally lost on line 9.

    I strongly suggest creating another stanza as an introduction to the rest of the poem. If you describe more explicitly the context of the poem then the audience will be able to relate more to the narrator and subsequently the following stanzas will elicit a stronger emotional response (especially on the last stanza.

    I did enjoy your line structure, I just wish there was more substance.

    I like the beginning
    Until it reached the second stanza
    It kind of didn't make sense to me.
    Third and fourth are okay, though.
    But still.
    I'll give you a 4/5

  • I liked the writing of it, like some I didn't quite understand it, vocab was good, the flow was great.
    Keep up the good work.

  • I loved it. The flow was excellent and the emotion was deep.

    'Unknown situation and I'm running, no, I'm lost
    Found a sort of freedom, but I'm playing at a cost
    Sitting by a fire trying hard to melt the frost
    Failing to heal these wounds, this fatal line I've crossed'

    Loved it ^^
    Keep it up 5/5

    Wonderful. Certainly doesn't deserve a
    4.2. What's with that? It should be
    a 5.0. Great flow I didn't see any
    problem with it what so ever.
    God bless 5/5
