There are many components of this poem that I like. You present many different emotions that need to be sifted through before you can get to the real heart of this poem - yet at the end clarity does begin to shine through. I think this structure fits nicely with the overall message of the poem.

I really like some of the heart-wrenching imagery - "the sweet dewy taste/Of a taken risk; the plunge." and "shackled by fears,".

This is personal, and the reader does not understand it all at face value. A very intriguing, yet well-written piece. Keep writing, k.
