Hi Nika I had a perfectly fine response to this poem inside this box. I clicked and the screen said - you know! - WRONG CODE yada yada yada. Then I got distracted by a BIG THUMP in the hallway. I openened my door and there was the biggest couch I've seen in living memory. I could barely see the two girls moving it. So despite my bad back, I offered to help. We got it down the hallway without another THUMP! They thanked me, I said GOOD NIGHT and carried home my Good Karma! But I forgot what I wrote. I'll do tomorrow what I couldn't do today.

I really like this poem for the theme and how the story was told. Honesty hurts but as the good book says better wounds from a friend than kisses from an enemy. I also like the analogy in the wounds being rebroken like bones that haven't healed correctly but still function just not at their potential. So you rebreak them in order to set them properly same with this open up those wounds to properly clear out all of the infection be it words, thoughts, feelings in this poem. Finally at the end of it all it was painful but it was needed and now the speaker and the person who they were dealing with have come out of it better people. Truly I love a poem with a positive message. Great job Nika!
