On those other sites most folks vie for stars or top ten lists. What they say about your poetry has little validity and absolutely no critique. They are looking for reads and ratings. Here you receive the honest truth, which can bite, but you can work to edit a much better piece. You can ask a moderater to move your poem to miscellaneous if you want none. All of the comments are on target for your poem. It's a list of statements with common antidrug slogans. However, some of them are not accurate. The addict's spirit is not broken when they are cured, in fact, it's fixed. Try to say those things that you have outlined and do it differently and use metaphor. Folks will work with you, cheers!/Chris
