Critique....

    You wake up every morning,
    Do you ever stop to think how lucky you are?
    A warm shower, a warm sweater,
    stepping outside it’s cold.
    But you wouldn’t know
    go ahead get into your heated car,
    turn the key and drive to work.

    Do you drive by me?
    Cold, lonely,
    cold.
    O, how I am cold.
    While you sit, talking
    unaware.
    Unaware that humans are,
    humans are suffering.
    I am cold, the winter air
    Bitter. Numbing.

    Are you grateful?
    You never said please or thank you,
    but expect your children to.
    You ask them to put down their phone at the dinner table
    but will you?

    You’ve always been given the best,
    now you expect it.
    Do you realize how lucky you are?
    I would trade my bike
    for your car.
    I would trade my lonely
    for your love.

    But you do not realize,
    that you have everything
    you should want.
    Open your eyes,
    everyone is not so lucky.

    I had to write a poem about something we wrote about earlier in the year. I had wrote about how I feel lucky, when I see someone without a car or homeless. But for our final we had to make it better, so I tied in how my parents call me spoiled when they expect the same things in life as I do. I'm not asking anyone to do my homework for me I would just like any postive critiques to improve my poem

    This should be in the request to read and comment poems :)

    This thread is for feedback on the site, not poetry. I'm sure a mod will move it for ya, and you'll get much more help in the other forum! :)
