Sup @faint wadi. My work has reached a certain threshold, so I'm able to comment on this poem. Thanks for waiting.
median galleon
I see. I'm afraid I can't agree. Its good, but I wouldn't be able to raise it to such a high accord personally.
median galleon
OK. The premise of the poem is pretty simple and sweet. Honestly, the message is good. I personally dont fully agree with the conclusion you've drawn. I don't believe that we should simply satisfy ourselves with being me is enough kinda philosophy, because if we don't push ourselves we as humans never reach our full potential. However, thats a personal view, and I admit that I can't judge a poem's quality based on personal beliefs.

Your syllable count is semi-consistent. That means that no line is too clunky, and no line is too short. That is good. It allows for a more or less smooth reading.

Your decision to not make a rhyme scheme was a bit of a let down. The poem is far too simple to be a stand alone Free Verse. Free Verses are written when the poet wants to 'break free' of the poetic constraints like Rhyme Schemes and Meters in an effort to 'write out the desires of their heart'. This doesn't mean writing out a rant like I've seen most others do, but instead means that you fill the poem to the brim with Poetic Devices instead of constraints to substitute, like Alliterations, Metaphors, Imageries, Allusions, etc. Your poem, whilst good, is not something that would stand in Free Verse.
-
As an example, just consider Maya Angelou's "I Know Why a Caged Bird Sings". It is brimming with passion, emotion, imageries, metaphors, etc. That poem can be a Free Verse, becoz Ms. Angelou filled it with more than enough poetic devices to account for its lack of structure. However, you have a lack of structure and a lack of devices, which makes me a bit iffy about this poem.

Look, Stanza 1 was strong. You had powerful imagery, and clear symbolism to show that this character feels guilty about the sins of their past. It was so good, that if I only read this I'd say that its powerful enough for a Free Verse.
However, I feel like Stanzas 2 and 3 faltered quite a bit. The reason I say that is becoz they are literal sentences. They aren't divided into different verses in a stanza. It just one huge statement. That isnt the spirit of poetry.
Maybe I've made a mistake. Maybe your original poem did have Stanzas 2 and 3 as separate verses, but posting them here has 'flattened' them. If that is the case, please do try and format it accordingly, so that I can comment on it more accurately.
Even apart from that, lets continue the analysis. Stanza 2 definitely builds on Stanza 1, but is a little confusing. You extended the guilty party a chance to absolve their sins and they took it. But then you mention that they were prepared to cut you loose? Didn't you offer them a chance to redeem themselves? What happened? I feel like we missed something important here, and rushed to an end.
Stanza 3 is more confusing. On its own, its an OK sentence and it could be argued that it serves as an envoi. But Immorality? How does this relate back to Stanzas 1 or 2 again?
So I'd say that I felt very confused reading this. You need to clarify the relationship between the stanzas better, and decide exactly what the theme of the poem is gonna be (Is it Redemption? Is it Betrayal? Is it the futility of Morality? What happened here?)
versed flame
To cut someone or something loose means to free someone or something from something which holds or restricts them.
Okay!
Let me clarify ;3

To cut someone or something loose means to free someone or something from someth...
OK... thats an interesting take. I interpreted it as 'cutting them out of your life'. This is the usual interpretation in media actually.
In that case, you gotta strengthen the imagery. Show that 'I' was stuck, and that 'they' cut me loose.
versed flame
I mean, it makes sense why even highly poetic statements can be confusing to readers due to a lot of interpretations, ambiguities and figure of speeches. (They will feel too abstract and theoretical)
And yeah, i can simplify my highly poetic stanzas.
median galleon
I see.

@median galleon hey
