    There's so much I would like to say about this poem but I just can't come up with the right words to say so I will keep it simple, this is one of your best writes. Wonderfully penned.

    This I will definitely nominate on Monday!

    Its one of the best piece I read from you Thomas. There is a lot in here, a lot more than what you just said in those words. The question of who you are and who you say you are delivered in such a powerful poetic way, but the sadness in your tone is overwhelming to me :'(

    Loved it soooooo much!

    I read this pieces several times, over and over... each time, I take the same feelings, but I sink deeper and deeper into this piece. Thomas has penned a heartfelt piece on the battles within his own mind, feeling lost and alone. The title helped me to set the tone for this piece..

    I really admire the word usage within this piece and just felt mesmerized by each stanza.. I had to highlight this piece, well done Thomas

    You are a very clever and witty poet, that is what you are my friend.
    Line two grabbed my attention, is there such a thing? Do the two not oppose each other?
    But it works, to me it makes perfect sense.
    Somewhere between God and man is such an arrogant line, this person sees themselves better than the average Joe,
    I laughed at the thought of trying to find peace in city, great point!!
    Everything about this piece is very clever, the images you paint, the rambling pace, the clashing of words that shouldn't really work together but do.
    You could delve right into this and come up with so many variations on what we think this poem is about.
    Very, very good write. Well done.
