Having looked through some of your other poetry, I wonder why no one has snapped this up and started publishing you- I'd much rather be analysing your work in my English Lit lessons than some of the stuff I have to read!
You have a gorgeous sense of imagery, getting underneath the skin of the person reading, making them question things they once thought were true. God, I wish I could write poetry this good!

The first verse immediately caught my attention
I love this so much, you can practically feel the raw emotion from it. I think you have a lot of talentIt's such a different take on the idea that home is where your heart belongs, but it can also be the worst place you can imagine for some people. Ugh, just love. Great job!

This is an interesting take on the concept of home and it definitely keeps my interest. I like more rhyming poems generally but yours was definitely fun to read.

I've even had that suffocating, drowning, feeling inside the same white walled rooms of my old home so I at least can relate to the poem on a deeper level because the same room and everything does start getting old.

Like someone else has already said, I am curious if just ghosts or hallucinations in the mirrors and windows, because that is creepy description right there and I most certainly would be frightened even if its a metaphor.

Wow, I have to say this dragged me in right away. The way you wrote it is amazing. I could picture everything I was reading, walking past a window and seeing other people laughing at you. Or just eyes with laughter in them, its amazing

This is amazing. I have to say that I'm more used to rhyme and acrostic poems but this one was really good, and I'm not saying it just to say some pretty words.

The person in this poem feels comfortable at their house at first but then the feeling slowly changes and they feel the exact opposite; uncomfortable.

I'm wondering if what they are seeing are just illusions or maybe ghosts? It's not made clear but its nice keeping the mystery on. It almost feels like that apartment is killing them slowly, taking away their sanity.

The last stanza is very poetic and its a great way to end this poem. It brings the kind of open closure it needs. Well done!
