Poem 18

R. Lushinovich

You only have one side to you.
You are as one-dimensional as the glazed-over eyes staring back at me.
You had a mission to make yourself into pieces, without the knowledge of what "yourself" is.
Now you are nobody

    I really appreciate the raw emotion and thought-provoking imagery in your poem, 'Poem 18'. The way you convey the idea of someone being one-dimensional and losing their sense of self is powerful and impactful. Your words really draw the reader in and make them reflect on their own identity.

    To improve this poem, I would suggest exploring more on the concept of self-discovery and what it means to truly know oneself. Maybe elaborate on the journey of finding one's true identity amidst the pressures and expectations of society. Additionally, consider incorporating more vivid and descriptive language to enhance the imagery and emotional depth of the poem.

    Overall, great job on creating a thought-provoking piece of writing. Keep up the great work and continue to explore different themes and styles in your poetry. Your unique voice and perspective definitely shine through in 'Poem 18'.
