The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

Your poem "Inside" delves deep into the internal struggle of desiring freedom while feeling trapped within the confines of one's own mind. The repetition of activities like playing games, watching Netflix, and seeking excitement juxtaposed with feelings of emptiness effectively conveys a sense of longing for something more meaningful. The contrast between outward appearances of a good life and the internal turmoil adds layers to the narrative.

One suggestion for improvement would be to explore more vivid imagery or metaphors to enhance the emotional impact of the poem. This could help to engage the reader on a deeper level and create a more immersive experience. Additionally, consider varying the rhythm or structure of the poem to add dynamism and keep the reader's interest throughout.

Overall, your poem successfully captures the complex emotions surrounding the quest for true freedom and fulfillment. Keep refining your use of language and poetic devices to further amplify the themes and evoke a stronger response from your audience.

Judging from this expert handling of a relatable subject I think you do very good with 'your' free time. I like your poem, and the way it seems to flow easily from you. Your voice reflects perfectly with the speaker behind the words. And I must admit, I saw myself mirrored here and there.

I am impressed by the world you create, but I would come to a different conclusion.

THE WORD FREE IN AND OF ITS SELF IS A PARADOX. FOR EXAMPLE FOR A KITE TO FLY ITS HIGHEST IT MUST BE HELD UP BY SOMEONE ELSE. WE'RE NEVER FREE IN THE TRUEST SENSE. AT LEAST NOT WITH OUR CURRENT
DEFINNITION OF FREEDOM, NOT WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. THERE MUST BE OPPOSITION AND CONTRAST IN ALL THINGS. I DID ENJOY YOUR POEM. IT CAUSED ME TO THINK?

Hi Emmanuel!
I see this is your first poem on the site, but obviously you’re a poet in your own time, you should definitely post more here. This was somethign that intended to smack me in the face and watch me fall down, and that’s exactly what it did. I agree with absolutely everything you’ve said, I live in a free world, but what does that entail. In my personal opinion, it’s the fact that I’m able to have these thoughts and do nothing about my freedom that shows how free we really are and how we’ve all begun to take it for granted because we have never known anything but freedom. I think the length of your poem was perfect to get your readers all worked up, I like how it was all squished together to create the sense of urgency that your words are also showing me. I like the simple title. This is really great, everyone who’s already been commenting can tell you that too haha! Keep it up!

I enjoyed this work, it made me think of Bob Dylan and the final lines from "Ballad in Plain D".

Ah, my friends from the prison, they ask unto me
"How good, how good does it feel to be free "?
And I answer them most mysteriously
"Are birds free from the chains of the skyway"?
