Be aware that I am not glorifying self abuse but your understanding that you may write what you feel. Many times my pursuit of pleasure leads to pain. I am being open minded as to how physical pain can distract from the emotional pain of feeling empty in some way

This is as thought provoking as James frey's poetry in "A Million Little Pieces"

I can really relate to this piece. I felt like you wrote from the heart, focusing more on emotion rather than form and I admire that. Some poets worry too much about rhyming and style and meanwhile they lose control of their emotions. I felt you did a great job with this. Your emotions are clearly expressed and are hard hitting. A very sad poem, but so well written. I'm here if you ever need to talk. *hugs* Keep it up. Nik

Very nicly done, my fave poem by you by far, really caught my attention. love everything about it..the structure, the wording, i just love it. very hard hitting and relatative.IBE
