I like this. It's vague with regard to what prompted the words to be set upon the page, but not vague at all in terms of the impact of the same. This line:

My eyes are raw and concentrated

... is telling and relatable (to this reader, I mean). And the whole of the piece leaves me feeling that this write was both necessary and healthy. It's a scream really, and a potent one at that. Well done.

i don't comment much, so i must've liked this to even comment.
i would quote the best, but considering it's brevity and how much i enjoyed it, that would be redundant.

quite good.

I agree with snemmy. It's short but potent and though a bit hard to understand..still, it had impact.

This is exceptional. I relate so well
to the emotion within~

the ending is perfection .. and absolute!

Excellent post

I loved this too. I must check out more of your writes. I am in love with the two I've had the pleasure to read, early this morning.
This was short but so darn vivid. So full of hardened truths. Very well written. Thanks for sharing.
Peace, Laura
