Not Another Word

What a wonderful poem, How can you think you are not a poet its oozing from every word. I think you write superb emotional and heart touching poetry

Judging comment:

Simply beautiful.
The adamant refusal to write another word within the opening really piqued my interest as we usually find poets struggling to find the words to write and a way to release them; not refusing to let them out. Particularly liked how Andrea stated her thoughts were dying and waiting to be grieved and followed this up with the use of the words being suffocating in their selves.

There's such sadness in the part of being a stranger to her own feelings. I feel like she's lost and desperately trying to find her way back to herself but doesn't know how because as she says she is trapped in her own mind.

It was the last three lines that stood out the most to me. She's alive but only surviving; not existing. Just struggling to get through each passing day and void of any emotion other than feeling like inside she's already dead.

So much despair and sorrow within this write whilst being exquisitely crafted.

Very, very good.
