The Notebook

When you look at this
What do you see?
Do you see something perfect?
Or it is just intimidating…………

As you flip through the pages
Without anything there
Is it perfection?
Or is that when
Ink fills it up?

When you open a notebook of some kind
Is it that you see possibilities?
For poetry, and lyrics, and emptying your heart on a page…
Or is it a boring class in the beginning of the year?

i think you should change the stanza "or is it just scary" to something else. i also don't get "or is that when ink fills it up" i also think you should deleate of some kind and just keep it when you open a notebook. i also don't like "or is it a boring class in the beggining of the year. overall not your best poem, no offense.

I actually enjoyed the concept behind this one, no matter what the HATERS have said (jk I love you guys XD) because you illustrate the duality of potential for a notebook: something either loved for its potential as a vent or hated for its potential as something that will cause bad memories later on.

By the way, Noah doesn't know how to spell bulimic, unless he meant something else entirely by the word balemic.
