Well, since you said in the description "Please tell me what you think", I won't feel like a douche for speaking plainly, I suppose.

I think this poem is laughably indulgent, lacking substance and severely unimaginative. Expressive, but in the same way that a toddler screaming and rolling on the floor is expressive. Though it's apparent that the speaker is feeling emotional, the expression is so immature that you just end up rolling your eyes instead of really relating. Don't get me wrong, I can absolutely relate to the subject of the poem, but the way it's presented is immature and holds no depth. It's sort-of whiny instead of being poetically melancholy or some such.
So it's a pretty weak and self-indulgent poem, but whatever, we all write little snatches of crap in our journals and diaries and that's okay. It's human to melt down like that. But then you actually put it ONLINE, graduating you from whiny to attention-seeking. It would be entirely different if this were a well-crafted and insightful poem that had something to offer the reader, but it isn't.

There.

I fully respect your opinion, but in no sense is she whiny or attention seeking. Having be though a lot recently, I think she is entitled to share her feelings how ever she wants.

But it is your opinion and I can not change that.

Having been through a lit myself recently, I still think it's juvenile.

it seems like the poem is very personal and only some people can relate to it. thats the whole point of poetry in my books. So only some people will understand this poem.

I understand it. You don't know where I've been.

Thanks for being honest and I fully respect your opinion. But I didn't post this online to be 'attention-seeking'; I posted it because by posting my feelings online it makes me feel better and people have come to me before on here saying that my poetry helps them because it describes how they are feeling.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave an honest comment. :)
