"Aside from those little things this is a nice vignette about young adult individuation and the tension it creates."

Thanks for the feedback. However, this poem is really about internal conflict caused by emotional abuse from a parent (fearing them and loving them at the same time). I guess I need to make that clearer somehow.

I also wonder what makes you feel like it was written by a male? And is that problematic if it's supposed to be from the perspective of a female? I am not sure quite what you meant by that.
