elle, what divine writing! I am in love with this, though I'm not sure
I can articulate exactly why. There is a vulnerability in here that is
protected by the fullness of conviction. And it just breathes life
into your reader. It makes them want to grab this piece and possess
it.
Richly delightful, hun.

elle,
a powerful (personal) statement as to what defines a person and motivates those dendritic actions, that in and of themselves don't always show clear purpose in their branching. And a lilting staccato rhythm wrapped in silk was the jam on the toast this morning.
I do because I need,
I Am because I bleed.
outstanding.

This is so powerful in its brevity. Each line thrusts itself forward to be examined, demanding its place in the forefront of thought.
And the many ideas portrayed here are like so many facets on a jewel, brilliantly, exquisitely displayed.
One small suggestion I'd make, though, if I may. Lose the ampersands. The aren't needed, and the read would be that much stronger without them.
In the case of the last one, substitute with a comma "(first, last)" and read it to yourself. I think you'll appreciate the result.
Another fabulous write, Elle. |

Hi Elle,
What else can I say that hasn't already been
said? Vulnerability, resignation, and resilience -
it's all there. A beautiful piece of writing!

This is a beautiful piece Elle!.. raw and honest.. I especially like the last few stanzas - you're very good at pulling the piece together.
I really like the warmth you create in the stanza starting with "I celebrate..."
Another great write
