Jase, look some poems are hard to write. Everyone has tragedy and we're too close to our own to sometimes write it effectively. It can take years to have the necessary distance. Billy did actually give you constructive criticism but this is too near the surface for you to hear it. I'm sure you did everything on purpose--everyone does--that doesn't make it an effective choice. The site's purpose is to help you write better poetry. If you try to stick it out and remember that you're not your poem, you will get better. If you chose to leave I understand that. Critiquing sites aren't for everyone.

Best,

Todd
