Excellent! You have carried me along the gamut of emotions and held a mirror before me.

Old wounds do haunt us. It's strange how a hurt once dealt with, "sterilized
I kept them stitched and sanitized" can bubble up again at the smallest echo of pain.

Thank you for this thought-provoking poem.

I hope you're not saying this is you ... A seriously good write that I think many have felt this way before, but were afraid to ever admit to that weakness. Thanks for sharing.

Great use of imagery and delivering this message. There are all too many of us who have built our own inner prisons over time. It's no way to live. I hope you've gotten freedom from hurts of the past and found a hope worth hoping for. I loved the flow, and it kept me interested the whole way through. Excellent work.

I think I can relate with this Sue.
But I have also learned to open up to a few really good poem.
They take time to find but they really help keep my mood great. I've watched some leave because I was too cautious and felt I didn't trust them... cynical, right? That was me, then.
I have been disappointed in the past so I prefer to go about my things alone some times no matter how long I may take, I felt I'd be fine that way. Truth is, there are some very nice people and there friend doesn't cost too much, just plain sincerity and care and ambition. I may have gone beyond your scope with this but this is my story.
Great poem.
Much love,
Justmade

Well, you just seem to be hitting the spot today with these poems. Or maybe its just my current view of life. Either way they're striking deep. I shake my head listening to conversation this morning, struck dumb by some people who I've counted on and yet, they keep turning their backs when I desperately need their help. They come up with other solutions that are resonable, but why not try my way? They refuse to look, to see...to even read my stories! Very frustrating. Well, anyhow to day is one of those days when I don't mind being alone and locked away. Great poem! ;)

Your writing is so pretty and filled with truth. I enjoy reading your work as it shares the hurts and scars of life but then shines with hope. I like that. The poem was excellent. I hardly ever give critcism but the picture was not a good picture and I know it is petty on my part but tears flow from the eye nearest the nose. Hope you take this with a grain of salt. Again the poem was wonderful

Wow Sue! You have certainly done a good job with this poem. The hidden pains we bear can sometimes raise its head when we least expect it. Though days pass, the scars sometimes remain. You have done a great job with the rhyme, rhythm and imagery in this creation.
The artwork you chose fits your words perfectly.

Well written with excellent word choice. I especially like the line: while riding high with revelry, inside and out no quandary. Nice work.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I like this poem a lot - especially the lines "stitched and sanitized" and "behind these doors, I keep them closed in isolation, self-imposed". Nice work.
