Bright Red and Thank You

I like that you chose topics regarding suicide and a bad relationship. Not that either one is a good thing, but they are great topics to write about because they can evoke so much emotion. In "Bright Red" you talk about a woman who has been cutting herself and eventually slits her own wrist. I wanted to know a lot of things at the end, like why was she cutting and for how long? I feel that you could have added more description because I didn't feel enough emotion in what I feel would be an emotionally draining experience. In your poem "Thank You" felt kind of empowered after I read it. Many people experience these "one sided" relationships in their life and I think that is what you were expressing here. I don't know if this poem is directly about you and an ex, but it is relatable nonetheless. I like that you titled it "Thank You" because it really is about self realization. I have been in a relationship like this before and I really connected when I read this. As I had mentioned about your last poem, I think you could have added a little more detail and description, because although it is clear what the subject is, it is lacking the emotional depth I would expect.
