M, you know from the title I expected something dark and gritty with some angst and possibly wrist slitting sprinkled in (yes I must sound amused right now). To my surprise you took a more literal take on the word dark. Made me pause to think about where I am in the world right now.

Been having a few dark thoughts lately haven't you? Anyway, it's poems like this one that keep me around on here. it's so well written and so honest that people shouldn't be able to help but love this! (I worded that kinda weird, I hope you understood though) "Makes my reall self hard to find" wow, just so sad, but still hints to the fact that there IS a real self waiting to come out. Excellent job, as always, Peace
