Jenni,*

I loved the reference to "the art of silence" it is an art isn't it? It's delicate, beautiful but tragic in sense. It's an art form, the way it comes to you suddenly, out of nowhere and either you're talented at keeping quiet or you're not.

"Yet, how can this be so
when,"

Personally I'd remove the 'so' as it'll still read the same but make it flow as little better.

"continuously" = continuously.

"I am
confident
to the point of arrogance"

I actually really liked these lines too. While they were simple the meaning was extremely blunt, so blunt that it contrasted nicely against the next lines nicely. We often speak about how we appear on the outside compared to the inside but not too often will people admit their arrogance.

I think you did an excellent job at yet another challenge. It was interesting to see how you depict yourself and I know you've always had a war within yourself but you should know you're full of amazing things too. Never forget that!
