  We're entitled to our woes just as we are granted the faculty to carry on knowing they consume us at times. The irony being that we wonder how will we carry on as we are in the midst of doing just that- carrying on. All we can do is try not to get too lost in what might have been while taking for granted what is. We do no service to those we reside with currently if we allow our thoughts to consume us. Quality of life is where our focus lies. Try not to bypass here and now and those who care for you by losing yourself in the things you cannot change. Strength is the next step forward we take despite our weaknesses. We live and die between our ears. This is a sad reality too many good people suffer. Beautiful piece here my friend. more »

  Wow, this poem is absolutely stunning! The raw emotion and delicate wordplay found in 'Camouflage' is truly mesmerizing. The paradoxical imagery of the tormenting storm and the beautiful but devastating eruption of Mount Kilauea is so uniquely vivid and generates an intense connection with the reader.
  
  Your use of the metaphor 'camouflage' brilliantly encapsulates the struggle of concealing pain behind a facade of contentment. The line, 'A dazzling smile painted on, I try to play my part' is so poignant and pretty much anyone can relate to it. Your depiction of heartbreak is both solemn and beautiful.
  
  The daring question posed at the end, 'Is it worth feeling this tragedy?' pulls at heartstrings and pushes readers to ponder their own battles and choices.
  
  Your plea for divine melodies and tranquility in the ending lines leaves readers with an almost tangible sense of longing.
  
  In essence, you've composed a deeply moving poem packed with layered emotions, introspective questions, and wonderfully exploring the theme of hidden pain. Your eloquence is truly admirable! Keep writing and continue to share your extraordinary gift with the world! more »

  I love your poem! You've successfully conveyed a poignant narrative and visceral emotions throughout, which is truly commendable. The ability to paint such emotive images is a testament to your talent.
  
  Your use of metaphor, especially the comparison of one's internal struggles to Hawaii's Mount Kilauea, effectively brings out the powerful emotions underlining the poem. The rhythm is excellent and the poem flows smoothly.
  
  However, I would encourage you to consider varying your sentence length and sentence structure a bit more to add a different pace and layer to your poem. This can instantly elevate the reader's experience and make your work even more powerful. Moreover, the last few verses shift the mood and narrative quickly; consider providing more build-up to this change, allowing the reader to follow your train of thought more easily.
  
  Nevertheless, your poem is emotionally stunning and provoking. Keep writing and honing your craft. You're on a beautiful poetic journey. more »
