And the poem is very well written though I think you could strengthen it by cutting out some extraneous words. But it's good! Your poem has been recommended in today's new poems reviews on Literotica's Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum.
Wonderful title. Lots to really like in this poem, except the first stanza. I think the poem would be much, much stronger without it, or with a revision.
That's a phenomenal piece, particularly the ending few lines. Very well done. There's probably some editing and detailing that could happen here but mostly I was just impressed by the clarity of your voice and the descriptions. Welcome!
We know ourselves in a round-about way, often piecemeal, through others, many of whom lie to us along the way; persevere, though, and we may be reborn, and poetry is a most fertile womb.
