Sorry for the belated reply! Your comment is immensely appreciated! I overjoyed at your liking my poem! Athenian hugs!
Oh, I just joined your fan base! ! ! ! This is powerful- -and you didn't wince once. I am afraid to admit that I flinched. If a person can take the brutal truth and use it to shed the unworthy parts of their selves, their souls would indeed shine. I loved this poem.

I am humbled by your comment. Thank you so very much. Indeed, it is a very powerful poem and so very true. When I write a poem, I see my reflection in it. I try to dig deep into my psyche and resurrect the murky parts of it with view to bringing them to my attention and fixing the defects. We are so weak but acknowledging it can bring about the real change.
