                    I've found, in my writing, that visuals are very effective in expressing emotion --this poem would not have been as effective without them. Thank you for commenting.

                You are becoming selfless.  Never a fun thing.  To see what has been ignored for so long is most painful.  Yet necessary for growth.  Assuming you are serious; for the 
self is NO PLAYTHING.

                Poignant and powerful. The layout is striking and enhances the meaning so very well.  sam

                I like the diminishing word-cascade used to emphasize your point! Very Original!

                Very good poem...shows the decline, the fall into a muted quietness of a soul.   Agony - pain, can do this.  Very moving, touched me
