i think unnamed poem, and untitled poem are two phrases which detract from whatever is written below them. while we may be workshopping a poem it's often best to have an outline title at least.
it did feel original in main and worth working on.
thanks for the read, great to see your 1st poem

To see sheer blindness and hate coursing through you, who is in front of me
Beyond the saving reach of any power I might have possessed, in a future world
while it feels poetic, it does so overly. because of this it doesn't feel as strong as i expect it should
Your expectations corrode me, a grand spectacle of skill is worth ten seconds of fame the sentence starts well then feels let down by the weak statement. [/b]
You strive to make me love but I forgot how to. is 'to' needed?
Still I resolve that I'm stronger today than yesterday,
My emotions nulled and ego destroyed, doesn't sound narcissistic
A cost I'm always willing to pay
I vow to change you even if you hate me.
Even if I grow and change and throw my past(human) self away. feels too prose
I'm tormented knowing you'll never understand me
And wish that I was blind again
Oh, society
(end)
This is a second draft of a poem from 2 years ago originally
The messages are a little conflicted and blurred because of the second draft changes conflicting
But I really want to know what people think this means
All criticism welcomed & appreciated
it did feel original in main and worth working on.
thanks for the read, great to see your 1st poem
