Michael this is brilliant and personal, yet no doubt reflects the fears of many of us. And it looks so pretty! So clever! x

Last stanza is powerful here, where there is weakness - there is strength. Well written and formated

Dynamic piece that's will resonate with many. Liked the line formats too. Milly x

Very poweful poem..
Well done.

I wanted to nominate this previously but for some reason I thought I had used up all my nominations. Luckily I double checked so you are duly nominated :)

Michael you have seamlessly laid your ass on the line here.. I love this it's deep, raw, honest, personal and honest all rolled into one wonderful piece

Michael, an honest write. It's never easy to open yourself up like this, exposing your neck so to speak. Thank you for sharing such a personal part of who you are. Well done-

I am certainly afraid of the dark because I cant see what's going on around me. I often have viven in to temptations and of course I had to learn the hard way. Thank you for sharing.
