A bit of grey, a bit of black,
A bit of have, a bit of lack,
A bit of light, a bit of shade,
A bit visible, a bit fade.
Collecting bits of everything,
Collecting thing by thing,
A bit of this, a bit of that,
A bit of take, a bit of let,
A bit of narrow, a bit of path,
A bit of life, a bit of death.

it has a good rhyming scheme but i feel like if you could the rest of the poem the same feel as the first two then if would be even more incredible! just becuase the first two are so amazing. i do like it tho.

Thank you :), i as i wrote it i focused on the construction 4 verses with bit, than 2 verses explaining and then again 4 verses with a bit, ending with death as it all does. I just can't come to conclusion what could I have added more, could you explain? You definitely made me think :D

I was always an unusual girl.<br /> My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...<br /> And if I said I didn&#039;t plan for it to turn out this way I&#039;d be lying...<br /> Because I was born to be the other woman.<br /> Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.<br /> Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn&#039;t even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.

I love how you repeat "a bit" but I feel like this poem is really simple and you could've added some more. Other than that, your over all idea is great!

i think it has all, i feel this song and feel the bits in me, the bits you lose after something bad and bits you look to find what you did lose

This piece leaves me wanting something more. I get what you are trying to convey but I think you have the potential to do better
