Quinn, I really relate to your poem. I think many of us know logically that we can't be perfect and do everything right, but we still feel the expectation that we should. For me and other people I know, this contributes to a sense of failure, or never being able to measure up. I'm amazed that you captured this complex feeling in such a short space! Great job.
This is an amazing poem, Quinn! I can deeply understand the point of this tanka and how it comes back to the outer world with amazing realism, with how there are no limits in the world, but people still strive for perfection. Describing such a feeling regarding perfection is extremely difficult for many people, so you being able to describe it in an expressive way while keeping it in a short poem is out of this world!
This poem is super relative to me, because I am a perfectionist. I love how it shows your struggle between being someone you are, or being someone human nature wants you to be. I also love how you express that you are slightly lost on what path to take and I think that most people feel that way. It is really showing me you, and I love it.
