it doesn't bite!
I love this poem - I feel like this all the time.
I love the way you use the word pretty, it's like purging because of the "p", like the two need each other.
Very very well done.

Well done.

I remember my days of that vicious cycle. I can truly understand this poem. It may be short, but you don't need bows to make a good poem.

[Jason Young]

Well, it's short, which doesn't matter much, because it gives us an insight into the narrator's mind. Just because it's short and freeverse doesn't mean it's necessarily bad.

Actually, I admire it for its simplicity and no-nonsense style.
