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

The poem effectively uses rhyme and rhythm to convey a sense of melancholy and introspection. The exploration of themes such as depression, isolation, and hope is well-executed, creating a poignant narrative that resonates with the reader.

There are a few areas that could be improved for clarity and impact. The phrase "they're lost in the human race" in the first stanza could be more specific to better establish the subjects of the poem. Similarly, the phrase "rememberance of better times" in the second stanza could benefit from more specific imagery to evoke a stronger emotional response.

The transition from the fourth to the fifth stanza is somewhat abrupt. The shift from despair to hope could be more gradual or better explained to maintain the poem's emotional continuity.

Lastly, the final line "we just have to set it free" could be rephrased to avoid the cliché and provide a more unique and impactful conclusion.

Overall, the poem effectively explores complex emotional themes and has a strong narrative arc. With a few adjustments for clarity and specificity, it could be even more powerful.

I especially like the imagery in "skating on thin ice" and "Desperately flailing, signaling.
And it's always good to give that kick of hope.
Best wishes
Thank you for sharing

I was greatly taken by the first verse, lines:

"Remaining nameless, by design
they're lost in the human race."

they are as memorable as an old book that claims "In the beginning..." I read the rest of the poem was the explanation of an epiphany! (You should consider putting your wisdom into a book! If you do, please let me know where I can make a purchase.

Certainly robs us of much. I like how you stated we don't have to be alone...depression tells many lies and that we are better off alone is one of them. Well done.
