Oh how different
Can be rings -
For many purposes
And places.
The same way
How different
Can be faces.
What strikes
My mind?
Alikeness.
They are all empty.
All.
Inside.

Can do with a bit of polish grammar-wise but wow... this has got a great core. I just love what this piece is saying. Those last few lines are just haunting.
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?

I really like how you turn how different a circle can be drawn to how different people can look, and then twist it all up at the end to point out how meaningless it is. I wonder, could you be referring to how petty people are in basing judgements on looks/ the physical? Or how everyone is really the same inside? Or, how nobody matters, because we're all full of.... nothing? Each is a valid interpretation, which makes this one a winner!

The rhyme and the syntax were unusual at times, but on the whole I quite liked this. Witty yet serious.
