Hello HyperBookSnob. Welcome to Writing.com! My name is Elizabeth. I am here to give you a dose of R&R (Rate & Review).
Before I continue with it, I would like to let you know how to read my review. The opinions I express are only that. I am not here to attack you on a personal level. I offer these and the suggestions to help you on your writing journey. It is up to you to use any of the suggestions given. The "L" stands for "Line" and "S" stands for "Stanza."
On to your poem we go. I like it.
I understand it because I can relate. It was stressful for me during the time I was trying to figure out who I am. I would go between bouts of confusion and depression. It was a difficult thing to do. Change does not come easy to anyone in the first place. I experienced the array of emotions.
Stanza 1
L1: It...spinning. S1: Remove the period after "spinning." It is not needed here.
Stanza 2
L1: It...overwhelmed- S1: Change the hyphen to a period. It is a complete sentence.
L2: All...sensations S1: Use a hyphen after "sensations."
L3: Joy,...disaster. S1: Place a comma after "triumph." These emotions make a list.
Stanza 3
L2: Every...scream. S1: Remove "every" before "word" and "scream." You use it once at the beginning. The line will not lose its meaning without the other two.
Stanza 4
L2: broken...dream. S1: A comma needs to go after "promises." The combination of previous line and this one make a list.
L3: Like...am S1: Place a comma after "am."
