    Well written therapoetic.
    "Or are you like me.
    Are you trapped between the two worlds,
    Bound to ones duty yet longing for the hearts escape."
    This is my favorite stanza, as it shows part of the speaker knows the struggle the other is going through.

    5/5

      Interesting insight! I never thought of it like that. My intent was to be identifying/conversing with Claudius from Hamlet in this piece. But I like your interpretation as well.

      It's a great poem either way. But I do find that sometimes it's helpful seeing from other insights. It helps understand where someone is coming from, etc. I look forward to more work from you!

    Very well written. By the way, Hamlet is, perhaps, my favourite play.

    All the best and welcome to the site,

      Me too! Mainly it's Hamlet's musings in the famous soliloquy. But currently I'm really identifying with Claudius. Desiring forgiveness, yet not willing to left go of the things I've gained by the actions that need forgiving...
      Thanks for the positive feedback. I wanted to to try one with a little rhyme. I usually am more of a free verse guy.

    I think that's called 'wanting your cake etc etc' lol.
    I did notice the subtle sprinkling of rhyme throughout which I enjoyed. Myself, I write more rhyming poetry but delve into free verse now and again...with differing effects!
