Sounds very pop like, and it fits it very well! Great modulation to F, great piano accompaniment. Though, with your well trained background, I'm not surprised~
For some reason, this reminds me of something that would play in a PSA in Columbia from Bioshock Infinite.

Those measures of irregular time signatures are quite nice- they flow very well, which I hope was your intention?

Never played Bioshock Infinite, so I wouldn't know. But hey, thanks for the compliments! :p

Yeah, definitely. I made up the melody before I ever notated it on paper (this whole project started as a response to the fact that I would just have the first several lines of the poem in my head out of boredom and I found myself singing it, and decided "Hey, what if I made a project out of this...?"), and my intention was to kind of capture the "timeless" feel of some art songs I've heard before - where the poem, lacking a consistent beat, gets translated into music with a melody that works around the text and what beat there is rather than the phrasal structure of most pop music/songs whose lyrics follow a more consistent meter. When I finally got around to putting it down on paper, the irregular time signatures turned out to be the best/only way to notate half of what I had in my head.
