Comments : The Lonely and the Loved

    Hello

    I will begin with your footnote ".....it's kind of raw"
    ^^^^

    This is nothing you should feel you have to excuse - poetry should be raw and not 'over-produced', as it were. Real art comes from real emotions - not ones that are polished for the viewing public's pleasure.

    I have often spoken to people who have felt ignored by a parent or that a sibling receives far greater attention than they do (my wife is one) so I know a little of how devastating this feeling can be to the victim.
    The only analysis I can offer is that - should a child feel this bad, lonely and insecure about themselves - it can only ever be the parents' fault. There is nothing wrong with you. You certainly express your feelings wonderfully.

    All the very best and stay well,
    Ben

      Honestly Iit isn't a pleasant feeling as you say you know. I'm sorry your wife feels that way, no child, regardless of their age of 12, 20 ,or 75, should feel less than loved 100% by their parent(s). I just wrote this on the spot as I was being kept awake with all of those feelings and I couldn't physically let it out because I'm too prideful to cry in a shared room. Haha
      Thank you for the review Mr. Pickard :) Have a blessed day...or just a good day if you don't believe.
