    Guilty, can't quiet understand the meaning of the poem. No pun intended, but I think I missed the point...

    Yet the poem caught my attention since the beginning. I like the way you kept the Narative going

    This is extremely interesting..I'm not sure if I'd class it as a poem or lyrics or...perhaps something else but, It completely intrigued me so...I'm nominating it in the hope that the judges will do a much better job on analysing it!

    Although, in the time frame of the work, your "point" comes too early to share with the reader, it's consequences are wonderfully devastating.

    The repeated pleas to the point perfectly reflect the ineffectual cries of the misunderstood. The weight of perception bastardizes Thomas Jefferson's adage: What I think drowns out what you meant to the contrary.

    My fantasy of interpretation: I get an impression the "point" was made to a significant other at the wrong time and context and was taken horribly awry. Her friends are now invading your public space with accusations and burning tar.

    This "final individual" is a puzzle. Obviously she is insecure and tries to work against your own insecurities ("picking at years of great achievement with her already bitten fingernails"). However, is she the recipient of the point or a "friend" seeking to finalize the problem by causing betrayal?
