How is it that someone who has never met me has been able to take all the things I’ve felt constantly for the last 4 years and so effectively written them down for all to see?

Great job OP keep it coming

I definitely think they meant it as a compliment. They were trying to say that it resonates with them deeply because they feel the same way.

I like the visual aspect of your poem. I think it does as much work as the emotions the words evoke. Expanding in the middle and then filtering down to the single word of “alone” highlights your search through your different emotions to what you feel at your core. Thank you for sharing.

thank you. also intended that "alone" visually overtakes everything until it's the only thing left

I understand this. Alone. Just the feeling of being alone, can have so many other feelings and emotions below the surface.

Me too. I love your poem. Know that you are special, regardless of you think that way or not.
