great poem. and i can really relate. and very intersting structure, i really liked it. and i can put myself exactly into the poem. so you are not alone. i keep telling myself itsa deffence mechanism or something, pretending. but the past sometimes always stays with us.
take care, and keep writing, amy help keep your chin up.

You painted a pretty hazy picture of your past I don't know wheather i should ponder on your suffering or give you prozax. Like I said it seemed really hazy and no real mental picture in you mind you left your reader. Take a look at turn around and set free. both have a very clear picture of what I want to say to the reader tell me what you think keep it up you will get there.
