    Hey, I really like this poem. It is cool.
    I love the rhyming scheme, except for the last verse where it kind of changes, I still like it though. The poem is a little short, but that's okay, how good this poem is makes up for it.
    It has perfect flow,
    Narration,
    Rhymes,
    Everything.

    I am happy that you brought this poem to my attention, I really enjoyed it.

    This poem was very, very sad. I really loved it. This is also one of your best poems that I have read. I only thought that the rhyming scheme in the last stanza threw the poem off a little because the flow wasn't as smooth as the rest of the stanzas.

    I really loved the first stanza because it made me want to read more. It's like you took all the emotion and pain that you had deep down inside of you and let them flow out onto the page.

    Encased within my acting shell
    Careful to deceive
    I hide deep under the dark water
    Too scared to come up and breathe
    Over my heart lies a door but
    Nobody dares to look

    To me this stanza signifies that you portray in front of others a totally different person. Your hurting deep down inside and no one is there for you to lend you a helping hand, or to give you a shoulder to cry on. So you have placed this shield around you so that others can't see your true pain, because that didn't notice it anyway so why leave it out in the open?

    I loved the metaphor's that you used. You have a great talent for using metaphor's.

    I also loved the second stanza because you continue to tell your story and it flowed right in from the first stanza. I also loved the metaphor's in this stanza:

    Yes, the hinges may be rusty, but the
    Door knob just needs to be shook
    Over and over I hold out my hand
    But it is passed by once again
    You see, I'm looking for just one shoulder
    Not a whole damn army of men
    All I need to be given is a tiny boat

    To me this stanza conveys the message of your pain and heartacheor loneliness is old or long over-due, but all it takes is someone to come along and ask you about your problems or to tell everything will be okay and you will let down the shield that you placed around yourself. You saying that you don't need a army of men. Only means that all it takes is just one person to notice you.

    Now I might be wrong about my interpretation of this poem, but to me this poem can convey so many different meanings and I think that you have done another brilliant Job. Now the last stanza is the one that I had problems with. I think that you should rewrite this stanza wording it better. Part of the problem could also be because of the missing punctuation in your poem, but I was able to get pulled into it from the beginning. It only got a little shaky at the end.

    That I'll start up on my own
    Not like I'm completely helpless but
    Sometimes I just need to fight it alone
    Everybody smiles at me, I smile right back
    Overlooked by them is the sincerity I lack
    Doesn't anybody notice?

    See in this stanza your conveying a different message then what you did in the first and second stanza. In this stanza is seems as if your saying you don't need anyone that you'll do it all on your own and that you will continue to lead others under false pretenses until you solve the problem on your own. Don't get me wrong I think that the message was powerful, but the rhyming was kind of rocky. So if you could just tighten up the loose ends of this poem, you will have a masterpiece on your hands. Keep up the wonderful work Jaime! And again I thank you for sharing your hard work with me. 5/5

    Love
