What Am I?

What Am I?

A Poem by J Clark
"

A reflection on who I am, and what I’ve made myself to be.

"
I’ve looked around to find sympathy,  
but there is none to be given to people like me,  
Maybe a friend or two will tell me that it’s okay, 
But they have all gone away  

A vessel is something that holds what it can contain
Think about it like a head with a brain 
Many of my actions would count as a sin 
But for these, I wish to be forgiven 

I cannot be free from this envelope of pain that haunts me
Everywhere I go, and everything I see 
reminds me of me 
I'm alone in this world, and only friend I have, 
Is the monster that is contained within me

I really get this poem. I really feel this.

1st stanza, 2nd line... "none" not 'non'
1st stanza, 3rd line... "two" not 'to'

2nd stanza, 2nd line... "think" not 'thing'
2nd stanza, 3rd line... I'm guessing you meant "count" instead of 'could'
2nd stanza, 4th line... replace 'these' with "this" (it reads better)

3rd stanza, 4th line... insert "the" between 'and' and 'only'

You should really think about spending more time reviewing your work for spelling and grammar errors. It appears you didn't spend any time on this.

You should think about word economy as well. You don't need words like "that" in the third line of the first stanza or "you can" on the second line of the second stanza. This reads more like prose without punctuation than it does a poem.
