The same prevalent path

Forever falling
down the
same appalling
path . pathed
in passion
pinched with pain
ruefully wrapped
in rage . Still
Relentlessly rowing
through its
enraging river
of wrath .

Last few words: 
I wrote this while in pain because the doctor is putting on a trial just to go to him every two weeks my head spinning.

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem "The same prevalent path" presents a vivid portrayal of an individual's struggle with emotional turmoil. The use of alliteration, such as "path . pathed in passion pinched with pain" and "Relentlessly rowing through its enraging river of wrath," adds a rhythmic quality to the piece, which enhances its overall impact.

However, there are areas where the poem could be improved. The use of punctuation, particularly the periods, appears inconsistent. For instance, the period after "path" in the first stanza interrupts the flow without adding any clear emphasis or meaning. It might be beneficial to review the punctuation to ensure it serves a purpose and enhances the poem's readability.

Additionally, the phrase "same appalling path" could benefit from more specificity. As it stands, it's unclear what this path represents. Is it a metaphor for a personal struggle, societal expectations, or something else? Providing more context could help the reader connect more deeply with the poem.

Lastly, the word "pathed" in the second line of the second stanza is unconventional. While it's clear that the author is trying to maintain the alliteration, the use of "pathed" is somewhat jarring and may distract the reader. It might be worth considering other words that could convey the same meaning while fitting more naturally into the sentence.

Overall, the poem demonstrates a strong command of language and a clear emotional resonance. With some refinement, it could be even more impactful.

This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Well colored by word choice: falling, appaling, pinched, rouful, wrath etc.
the visualization is tight and strong.
The final sentence is in my opinion very poetic.

I can't put the damned hammer down no one seems to get out without a scrape. Great vocabulary!

The power of our language can and will change the world.
Successively until our languages become one!

Well the world is an enigma when you fix one problem you come face to face with a million more. But in life , for life is like cards you’re just going to have to deal with it. Coming from a person who understands pain not the same exact pain but knows how debilitating it is.

Hlm life without literature is a life without logic.
