    I'm so glad this is nominated. I don't want to dig deep into this since it's feels super personal, but I will say this is extremely well-written. I hope writing this brought you some solace :)

      It did bring me some solace, thank you so much, Mark. Especially being able to put it into words, I don't know what I would do if I couldn't have gotten that out. <3

    You are such a great writer. Not only the structure but also the "space" in your writing is very airy and fine.

      Thank you, though I have so much I can work on! I've been writing a few prose pieces and kind of sitting on them. I realize I use a lot of prepositions and having been kind of balancing that out, seeing what works and where I can improve by "tightening" the verses so to speak. I think the main thing is releasing that emotion and not restricting the words, then going back and evaluating, does this really repeat itself? Is this part unnecessary?

      Thanks for reading!

    Holy mackerel. (Yep, I learned this word today).
    I rarely find poems that are this true and personal. I know such poems are a great release of emotions that have been suppressed for a long time. I might be wrong, but this is what I understood: you used to have faith in something that made you move on no matter how hard life was. Then that faith was wiped off by a stronger truth. And you felt enlightened but also left alone in your battle. I don't want to project my own feelings onto your poem, it is very personal. Just felt like I relate to this.
