Wow! The first stanza was amazing. It is so perfectly written. It really pulls the reader in. It also has great flow. I actually read it aloud a second tie just to hear it again. You have such a great talent. I hope that someday i can write as well as you.

"There are dark places people seldom go
Hidden in the recesses of their mind
Emotions people rarely show
Feelings they would rather not find"

^that describes me in a lot of ways...I keep a lot of things to myself, hidden, nobody knows... I absolutely love this poem from begining to end. One of my favorites you've written so far. It has the perfect rhyme and flow. Excellent, excellent job!!!

PS. I'm happy to have my opinion valued...lol (like it does matter) haha
Keep up the good work!

Some people live here
They never come into the light
These are the ones society does fear
They lock them up, out of sight

*shivers*..that gave me chills!! The whole poem did actually but when I read that and I got creeped and had to turn around to see if someone was behind me..I loved this peice so much, where did you come up with the idea?! Either way it was a great poem and I agree with JJ the poem was tremendous! Your an amazing writer and I'm glad you asked me to read this poem because I really enjoyed it...I'm going to read it a second time now lol.....
5/5 from me!!
With Love,
