 Rekawach 2007-11-26 . chapter 1I think thousands of people around the world are hearing this right now. It's the time of year, no? I would say that perhaps you could try detaching yourself from it and instead focus on yourself, but I know this isn't an advice column, so on with the poem review!
I think it's very successful in conveying your emotion, I particularly like the lines 'dragging along their problems and stringing along my promises' because to me it expresses obligation. It's quite muddled and ambiguous also, which could be seen as a strength or weakness, but here I think it's a strength because it's a personal experience and the reader feels the confusion/overwhelming nature of what you're talking about.
I hope things improve for you! In these situations I always like to zoom out and remember that I don't have to feel weighed down if I don't want to. |
