and so open, simply a whole ...lot of good poetic lines in this poem, I enjoyed the read, thanks Art~
Dear RisingStar, Your poem is obviously heartfelt and sincere. That, alone, is wonderful. I also really liked how you took responsibility for your challenges and, in doing so, grew through them into a better place.
I felt, though, that it was a little halting, and didn't flow as nicely as it could have with just a little massaging. If you feel ready, don't hesitate to contact the Volunteer editors here. They can provide you with lots of help, guidence, and insight. I know I've benefitted from their help in the past.
Most importantly, keep writing. The more you write the easier it is.
I can understand this situation leading to the poem you shared. It can be very therapeutic to write. One suggestion I have is to focus all this emotional energy into other poems. Sometimes it can very difficult to write about an upsetting situation, but those emotions can be harnessed and used to produce some very powerful poetry.
Quite a load of emotions but the first two priorities on this are to run spell check then do a careful edit. There's too much wrong here and it distracts.
