First, I must confess I often misread the rhythm of a poem. It does have sleek lines and nice metaphor. Also, I like the phrase "exhausted of existing." Nicely done!

Wow this is so dark. Idk how currently relevant it is, I just always want to provide hugs and comfort! But only as someone who's been there. The void is truly a lonely place but if you let it become an incubator, you can eventually start to see your own light and let it guide you to a place where you can hold both the void and the light. Beautiful work Sam, I was locked in!

This was sad but beautiful also, the line about shadows learning to pretend was especially brilliant!

“And I wondered if simply breathing / Can even be called living or a life.” Great lines right, and and a really good question at that!
