Dear drumrgirl30,

Taking into account the previous comments about your poem, I suggest you rewrite the first two lines as follows:

Except insofar as I post poems about my feelings on a poetry website called poemranker.com, I keep my feelings to myself.
Except insofar as I splatter my emotions around the Internet willy-nilly like some sort of deranged Harris, I keep my emotions boxed up on a metaphorical internal shelf.

This rewrite will no doubt improve your credibility and your reputation for accuracy. It will, however, render the rest of the poem redundant. Accordingly, I suggest that lines 3 to 13 inclusive are scrapped altogether.

Yours &c.

Enderby Throbbington-Smythe Esq.
