@rhondak I missed this when you posted it. I can't tell you how amazed I am by this piece. You are a complex creature, and I now have to admit I had no idea you wrote poetry. This poem is so real, and so accessible. While it is deeply personal, I also think we can all find meaning in this piece and find that it resonates in some way in our lives.
Why thank you, Jayna! :-) Mostly, I had no idea I write poetry, either. LOL Every now and then, especially after channeling Erik Evans for High Kill, something poetic pops out.
