I/'/m interested in what source of angst you would pen this piece. It might be sheer nuttiness; I/'/ve written like that.
Or, it may be a deep psychological battle displayed in verse.

At any rate, I liked it.

This is exceptionally visual. You paint scenes to go with your emotions; or perhaps it is the other way around.
The result is a physical experience with an emotional tagline. A unique style; for a unique writer. I like the style of this and look forward to more.

You wrote this with your tears. And if I may, also in defiance of the history that brought you to this point. Great write.
