Look at me, I'm broken,
So full of hatred, bile and gall.
Deep Regret for words not spoken,
Hiding behind a metaphysical wall.

A life full of empty dramas,
Wishing my life over, gone and away.
Lay sobbing in last week's pyjamas,
Wishing I'd begged for you to stay.

Thank you for sharing your poem. I appreciate the emotional depth and introspection in your words. Here are a few suggestions to consider:

1. Imagery: To enhance the impact of your poem, consider incorporating vivid and specific imagery. This will help to create a stronger connection with the reader. For example, instead of "Look at me, I'm broken," you could describe the brokenness in a more tangible way, such as "Look at me, shattered like a porcelain doll."

3. Consistency: Pay attention to the consistency of your tone and imagery throughout the poem. For instance, the first stanza focuses on feelings of brokenness and regret, while the second stanza shifts to empty dramas and longing for someone to stay. Consider how these

aspect of this piece would undoubtably be impacted with the absence of rhyme. Any changes in the length of the lines would be magnified and the whole thing would descend into chaos. As it is, the uneven length of the lines, do make for stutters and a certain uneasy tone. The use of the word [mystical] rather than [metaphysical] could reduce the bump of the last line of the first stanza. In such a short piece of work, the use of multiple syllable words should be carefully matched with the meter.
Is there a reason for the word [regret] being capitalized? ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Thanks I just wrote it very quickly this morning I need to clean it up and maybe add to it, no there is no reason regret is capitalised xx

Were intense and resonated deeply with me. You can hear the heartbreak and regret in every line. I think adding to the poem would deepen it as well as give your audience more to go on while reading this. Nice job.
