Oh my! I love this poem! It flows well, and you can tell exactly what your thinking and feeling! definitely going into my faves <3 5/5

Touched my heart with your sad words Maple because I know exactly this place you are penning from. I love the raw honesty here. Nice write :)

Omg.. Andrea.. omg..

Why is it that I feel the need
to live alone, when surrounded
by love and pure sweet joy?

- This really struck my core. So beautifully expressed, and so true. Sometimes when we are alone, we wish not to. But when we are with someone else, we go like: wish I were alone!

Amazing

Wow sad and touching, and the flow is great !
well done :)

I have noticed that women are the brave ones. They can put on a mask of satisfaction when in reality their hearts break..

I think this tells just that story and wonderfully done.

Don't sacrifice happiness for anyone..TJ's motto :)

I love the simple words in this poem, we as women will stay in unhealthy relationship so that the ones who need us, can somehow feel complete...but question many of us dare to ask is "What about me?"

You did a great job of expressing what some of us feel.

Deeply sad. You had me hooked on this poem from the first stanza. I could feel the pain in the piece and I loved how you kept the poem raw throughout.

5/5
