I'm no poet but I decided to try something new.

For someone who's "no poet," you did well with this piece on both a technical and emotional level. I like how this poem's structure reflects the theme . . . it felt scattered and unorganized as I read it, reminiscent of how one would feel when lost and hopeless. I liked the indented lines in how they added a sense of chaos; although they were just one word long, they added a lot of emotion and meaning. I'm impressed. Whether you pursue poetry or not, you certainly have potential. It's good that you tried something new.

yeah I wanted the middle lines to echoe the previous two, I (igh), Know (no),etc.. you gave a great review that I never intended to receive thanks.
