    Hi Darren, its been way too long ^^ but do i love this so.

    This is actually extremely difficult to pinpoint the exact meaning to lol. Even for me. But I'll try. First of all i must say i do love the wording you used within this piece very much. Because none seem out of place at least to me. And they all add to the piece in fact. Also writing an acrostic can be more difficult to do well than what people think. But this one is alright, no great, but good.

    My first thought was to say this could be through your eyes (the writer) and the pain you have inside, your mind and soul, and you want people to see how you are feeling. It seems to me that there is so much noise going on inside of uour head, and you want to somehow silence that noise. The noise seems to be about your past creeping up again. And in that you are slipping into insanity.

    It seems like it could be a me vs the world thing. Or you vs yourself. Like you are your own worst critic type of thing. Or maybe both really. You want people to see life through your own eyes, but in your own eyes you hate what you see, and you want acceptance from others? So you fake being happy instead of showing others how you really feel. I love this poem because it truly makes me think, and you always do that well in your poems. You leave the reader with so many possibilities. Great work!
