Insecurities plague the mind of doubt when we feel lost and trapped within our feelings. People often are mean to other people when they themselves have problems. I see the person here struggling to hold it together because of that nastiness of words. This person feels like their life is not worth living and so bad thing that happens, will make them go deeper into the hole then they are already in. This poem holds an interesting irony here. Though this person is causing you pain, the pain of your past trumps the pain you feel when they hurt you. I like this poem for it's wording and interesting thoughts. 5/5
