There is something about your writes that is unique and different. I can relate to this piece, it brought me memories. I love it so very much!!!

You write with such emotion, and always show your personal side in your writing, this one being no exception. But I so liked the ending, as there is comfort in the end :)
Much love, M x

Judge's Comments:

It seems that Poet on the Piano has a valuable lesson for our poetry community: it is important to fill your cups with something you want to drink, not something you must drink. Empowering as it may be, many still continue to drink the “never easy to swallow demons” they feel forced to consume. I loved this poem especially for its dedication to the metaphor, through and through.
