Hello Rakkit This is a powerful poem with great imagery. The short lines help the poem flow really well. It's easy to read but covers a difficult subject. The imagery of a flower wilting is a strong analogy for mental illness. I like how in your short description you mention the relationship between the illness, the sufferer and the loved one. I have experience of both sides of this relationship (as a long-term sufferer of depression, and as someone who has cared for and supported friends and loved ones with mental health issues). I've written a number of poems on mental health issues from both perspectives, and recently performed my work at a mental health arts festival where I live in Wales. Suffice to say this is a subject very close to my heart. There is still so much stigma around mental illness so it's important to write honestly about it and raise awareness. I spotted no errors in your poem and found it to be well written and effective. Therefore I have no hesitation in giving it a full five stars. Keep writing!
