THAT IS ONE BIG FAT BLOODY LIE!! YOU HAVE ME! ^_* I DUNNO IF YOU'R TALKING ABOUT ME OR DANNY, WHICH WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT, OH I THINK YOU MADE A SPELLING MISTAKE, "dammed" I THINK ITS SPELLED DAMNED ^_^
I think everyone has gone through a time when they had to shut down to survive. Sometimes the emotion is too much, but I guess pain is there to tell us when something is wrong or something needs to change. This left me with disheartened feelings, but it was a wonderfully crafted poem. The imagery was so strong.
"Incase" should be "encase". That is my only critique with this poem.
I'm sorry you feel like you have to shut yourself off from the world. No one ever has to do that...you always have someone. Be it family, a friend...a pet, even. Someone/something always needs you.
