abuseThis is a really short poem that doesn't have a whole lot of words (haha) so it's hard to comment, but I think you did a good job with it. I like how the words "I cry / I turn / I drift / Away..." and "The pain / The hurt / The tears" they all come in like an inescapable flood, then the poem slows down with "Do I exist?" which catches the reader off-guard with a question that I wouldn't normally relate to all of the words that were up there.

Also the ending "Meaningless / Too big / to understand" is a very nice ending. Most angsty poems just say the same cliche things over and over again... but this doesn't. "Too big / to understand" makes it sound like you've given up... that it's not so much that this is painful, it's just too big for you and is confusing.

I really, really like your work haha. Please keep posting more! :)
