I hope to find someday soon that you are well. That is not a pity statement or a yarn of sympathy because I know, having read you right along, that that is not what you're looking for. I believe in my heart there is more to you than this, especially with your writing, and I'm hoping a book of your life is in your future. God Bless, Charity! Best JohnC

Excellent work. It sounds like you have been experiencing many of life's diversities. I hope you enjoy your running and hiking which means that life holds some enjoyment for you.

Many young and old people experience debt. The world makes you strive hard for every little thing and enjoyment in life. You are not alone. Good work.

The objective correlative of your work reminisces a down and out protagonist on the verge of giving up.

The work highlights his or her hopelessness in virtually every situation in life and his or her floating on a stream of ambivalence, which could either leave him or her shriveled or forgiven by the Lord.

The work earns its texture through its effective use of ambivalent anecdotes.

Excellent work. Bravo.

Wow, a very powerful poem. I wished you had entered it in the tell your story poetry contest. After reading your words I can feel empathy for your situation. You are a talented writer. I hope it can take you to someplace you want to be. Excellent work.

This gripped me. I can feel your struggle. To the point of wanting to take the pain away for you. Keep writing like this and hopefully your struggle will feel less painful and more inspirational. Because you are.

    I'm trying to come out with my poetry book called life in the trenches. Just telling my story about my life. I'm in my darkest place at the point. Thanks for your feedback.

Another painful and tortured poem about your struggles. A lot of great lines in the poem. It is well-crafted with great imagery. Keep writing. For me, writing is like trauma therapy, and I'm sure it is for you also.

This poem, and the one I read previously on drug addiction, suggests to me that you are a fighter, who has suffered much but are not giving up on life, despite the frequent references to reaching the end. Anyone who thinks they are above you is a fool, who maybe has never had to fight a battle in their own lives. Ignore them. Hold on to the positives in your life, such as your ability to express yourself as fluently as you have done here. Great writing, and thank you for sharing.

You have to calm down. You're stressed out. Take a deep breath. Things can't be that bad. God gave you life, and He is the only one who can take it back.

It's important to keep a positive lookout. And you really have to pray. God is generous.

"Painful Truth"
I like the way you made this rhyme so beautifully it was also rich in Theme and Imagery.
It read well and flowed well with no Grammar Issues.

Complete Synopsis:
The Adjective and Objective Contents were both Excellent and Exceptional while Descriptive Measures aligned perfectly.
