You
are forgetting
how to sympathize
because your egotistical
mindset can get in the way of
realizing that this world which seems straight
forward is in reality more like a kind of uhhhh wave.

This poem is very different from others. I like it because it leaves reader thinking.
If im being honest I dont really understand what this poem is about but I can see you put a lot of thought into it
The poem shows how people can get stuck in a traditional, “straight” type of mindset, and how in reality people are not that way, being a “wave.” I knew it would be confusing and thats why I liked it, because it makes you question.
