This is a nice self-reflective poem. I like the structure you built it around with the reflection on different ages- it works well and gives the poem a strong sense of balance. Thanks for sharing this

I?m so sorry it took me so long to reply. The depression was crippling for a bit. Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. I really appreciate the feedback and I?m glad it hit how it was intended. I am very grateful for your time and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I enjoyed reading your thoughts on youth here and the "spectre of death" that, to you, marked the end of each of those formative stages. Your fine verse resonates with mixed and ambivalent emotions you had about life and love. And not really appreciating a sense of identity, you played 'pretend' as though your life was just a rehearsal perhaps? A complex time feeling trapped, unable to exert your sense of self, possibly still the same. Thank you for sharing this thought-provoking verse. Debbie
