Great poem. I loved it.

Super poem, I felt as though I could relate. 5/5.

Listen kiddo. You can still feel the capacity for love because that's who you are. You are "Dandy" in this internet thing, but you are your real name (I won't say here) in real life, and you love. It's tough, and we've talked about it. I don't know what to do to help you...what I do know is that you are loved by many people. You are far more then just a 'tarnished pearl.' You are that sparkling diamond, but right now you're just hiding in a little bag of confusion and can't shine in the light you know and remember. Stay strong love, and remember I'm here for you.
