Hi, K, you have a great mind! Your words are metaphorically deliberate and descriptive, and there is no doubt that your feeling is fragile to life--a beautifully written poem of breaking free. Best, JohnC

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner, just taking some time to sort through those feelings I tried to describe in the poem. I hope you have a wonderful day.

This one resonates with me as I too deal with recurring depression. The moth metaphor is powerful, especially when you describe the shattered pieces of the shell that are part of the process of learning to fly.

Thank you very much for reading and reviewing. It's nice to hear I'm not alone, particularly from someone who writes such beautiful poetry. Gives me something to aspire to from my depression hole. I hope you have a wonderful day.
