There's a really interesting tone to this piece that you don't see very often. I didn't really like the poem, because it was too angsty for me, but you didn't try to pretend it wasn't. Your style seems very clear, no-nonsense and incredibly self-aware, which is a good thing. The style of this actual poem was interesting - the voice speaking objectively put a whole new slant on the angst genre. Well done.

ohmygod i ** love this. you know this kills me. it screams of so much pain & lost innocence and it tears me apart to read this but you wrote it beautifully. i hope you know what an amazing writer you are. and the phrase 'caress the scars' -- that is just incredible. the imagery and meaning of it is amazing. it's ironic, something so gentle against something so violent and self-inflicted. this is beautiful. i love your writing. you've kept me sane over the past year, you know that right?

please don't stop writing, i need this now more than ever. your words make me feel better even if it's only for a few minutes of numbness. you.are.amazing.

I like this, the first stanza was beautifully and only got better from there.

Keep it up.

'Kay, so, I've only read a couple things by you, and you've already made my favorites :) Nice work.

ah this is so easy to relate to - people trying to understand, but they have no clue...amazing & powerful work. the last stanza was the perfect way to bring this to a close.

Beautiful. Just, every line was an inspiration.
