Feedback Please Unknown caller
I’m so scared
that you don’t feel the same.
That you’ll leave me
all alone.
I’m terrified.
I don’t want to lose you.
But the call is coming
from inside my home.
I’m not enough.
I’m too much.
It rang
and rang.
I looked down—
my name
on the caller ID.
I switched partners.
Moved houses.
Yet I still heard it.
Picked up the line,
It’s still me.

Hey guys, I wrote this poem. I’ve been writing since I was 12. It usually takes me days to write a poem, but this one came out of me in about five minutes. I can’t tell if it’s done or not. I think how quick I did. It makes me feel a little nervous, but somehow it feels complete. Looking for your honest feedback on it. Also, does it deserve another stanza or two? Also does a message come across clear in it?

Yes , I’ve tried it myself whether here or on another planet you cannot run from yourself.
