The world around me is a maze of colour and

sound.

You've turned me into your own personal crack

If someone ever turned me into a crack whore, I'd hope they offer rehab too.
 — pennylane

Simple and striking. However, I would consider changing the title into something less obvious.
 — sorill

no need for line 2
 — unknown

Stick to lines 1-2.  Line 3 is demeaning to the feeling.
 — unknown

 — SweetPain

does ne one know what this poem is about?
 — unknown

LMFAO!!!! this is great. it is funny and original. i live for this kind of poetry.
 — unknown

suggestion 1: correct the mis-spelling of "you're" in |1. i hate to read a poem in which the first word is spelled wrong.

suggestion 2: enhance the imagery a bit. you have a good idea here, but it's a little bland and empty.
 — AEOS

love the last line

 — unknown

 — Lillythepoo

thankyou lillypoo.
 — SweetPain

I like it, but is seems to short, unfinished somehow
 — Darkfollower

maybe, but i'm not a crack whore so i dont really know how this would feel.
 — SweetPain

You should choose an analogy with which you are more familiar.
It will help tighten your metaphor.
I'd like to see what you come up with.
 — Krttika

yeah. need to tighten it up a bit.
 — mould_jesus

it doesn't feel finished, honestly.

it feels like three lines for an unfinished piece, like a chunk of a poem.
it's got potential-- draw more images, and more emotion, and i think that you could really have something with this.
 — shakeit

it seems as if i need to do that with all my poetry. thanks Krittika, mould_jesus, and shakeit.
 — SweetPain
