I am dull
A thick skull
I try to understand myself and others, too
I don’t know why I am this way
Am I just a robot
Emotions raw and few
Maybe a mechanism is askew
I Feel as though I have nothing good to say
And when I try
Do I lie?
Are these words just an overdramatic attempt
Of being relatable?
Trying to sound knowledgeable?
I’ve obviously been spending to much time with only me
I rarely speak to anybody
I want to cry
For me and for you
The world
Yet the tears won’t come
Am I just that numb?

I like your poem. I always find darker poems more interesting. I don’t why but but the picture you drew fits the poem very well. You are a very talented drawer! The mushrooms are so detailed and the reflection on them looks really neat.

I love your poem! Every time you write, you always tend to do it in a nice format. It sounds great, and the picture you always has, always fits it.

I really like how you formatted the poem so each line is always short and simple, I think it does a really great job at portraying this “numb” feeling you talk about. I also like the section in the middle composed mostly of questions, it does a good job of reflecting a time where a lot of people are having questions that are going unanswered. I really enjoyed this poem and how you made your experience very relatable to what everyone (or at least I am) is going through.

I really like the artwork at the top of your poem. Something about magic mushrooms just intrigues me. I have heard that if a person wants to do mind altering drugs, to avoid LSD, and stick with mushrooms. I was never told specifically why, but I made a mental note of it. Maybe some day I will try shrooms.

I love how relate able this poem is. I feel like everyone has had a period in their life where they feel so much but are incapable of releasing those emotions. I also loved the art work to your writing as well, so talented!
