    Beautiful work. Aside from this being a great write, the style of the wording really accents this poem.

    To remove myself from the banality of my own current sickness that renders my words a shallow form from what relevence they used to have...Until this sickness eases, I am wordless and humbled...

    Timidly wandering through your words of dismay and yet hope a swirling paradox within itself. I am rendered breathless, numb, anaesthetised by them unable to convey, express response

    normally I find uneven cases and gliphs ristracting... but not in this one. You've managed to really use them effectively. BRavo - great stuff. Fox

    Oh wow, this was very trippy, I enjoyed the way you've portrayed this.. The image I get from this is sad until "But My !.inner beauty.! Will always *Shine* so bright" gave it an uplifting twist of hope. Amazing work Morb. ~L
