Re: thank you lionreign
I very much appreciate your reading and commenting.
When I wrote this I was in the midst of these feelings, and needed desperately to get them out. The person they speak to will likely never see these words: he has trouble enough of his own to work out, and this would not help him to hear right now, near as much as it helped me to say it.
By now I am in a much better frame of mind, and recognize this for what it is: the truth of one portion of my whole Self. It needed to be said, and it needed to be heard. Now I can get on with being whole again.

Superbly written, your eloquence is breath-taking and the passion overwhelming.
You may be interested in a book which explored a perspective related to one of the stronger voices in this poem:

I found this remarkably useful

This is raw...
I like the name of the blog. There's a song by this name , or very similar, that I posted a link to not long ago.

Thank you Sam, the venting was necessary and life-saving
and the moral might be amended just a little, or added to: don't start something the other one can't begin.

This was fantastic venting! And it also reminded of 'don't start something one can't finish.' The poem seem to intensify as the read went on but I loved the reason for not continuing, too! sam
