Judging comment:

This is a very self-reflective piece where I feel you focus on how you have been affected by the weight of the world in different periods of your life. With these lines: "I lift, I shift, I am the one who degrades all that defies me" you seem to highlight how you are in control and only you can overcome the forces that try to bring you down, or take away your will/motives. Your style is unique, especially with the repetition of "Capture in bottles I", which gives me the image of you contemplating the many aspects of life in order to analyze and appease tempers or certain evils of the world. The pattern of "from the rains the sprouting green" to "From wonder; consideration. From broken skin the mark of healing" reminds me of rebirth and I agree that we must see the dark before we can truly recognize the light. Your voice has a clear tone here with the emphasis that suffering must come before healing and relief. The ending lines intrigue me and how I interpret it is that we are all "afflicted" whether physically or spiritually or even mentally. It is the burden we carry but it does not define our character, we do not become that sickness. A very enlightening poem! (4)

Very well written, throughout. "I am many-fanged I capture my moods in glasses to drink in times of thirst" - had me hooked and a brilliant opening.
All the best,
