Description No matter what I do,

I'm always in a shadow
somewhere way behind you

No matter what I say

Theres always something more to add
Some way to steal the day.

No matter how I feel

Your like a splinter in my mind
Not sure if this is real.

I thought this was your strongest work. Here the emotion comes across clearly, with a lovely ending. 'Not sure if this is real' gave the whole poem a spin... that the person who always beats you is maybe you inside... what you wish you had said at the time. This is just the way I interpret it.
Check... Theres : There's ; Your : You're
Nice length and balance, and also good spacing to break it up. Take care, Alex.

My favorite thing about this poem was the meter and phrasing. Very unique.

Im not so sure about the poem, its like you know what you want to say and you know how you feel, but you cant exactly put it into words...I think that if you were to try and elaborate on it, maybe goin into more detail about how you are always lurking in the shadows behind them and how you long just to tell them everything, to talk without end...I think you have a very nice beginning and concept here...but I do think that you can turn this into something a little more fitting of your talent
