Anonymous asked: (Original 8391 anon) I'll listen to it again, and see if there were specific wording I can pick out. Its possible that maybe re-reading it again may help, I mean.. It seemed well written, but maybe your confidence wasn't as high as usual? I find usually your poems are highly visual "wrecking ball against my ribcage"... "Your sunrise on your fists"... And so on. (I likely misworded those, its been a while since I heard either, I apologize in advance) I guess that's where I set the bar. I LuvThose

Thanks for your willingness to help me out with specifics. I really do appreciate the feedback.

My enthusiasm was impacted because of a number of reasons (it’s really difficult to host an entire open mic and then give a mind-blowing performance, for example). And you’re right. This poem felt a lot different as I was writing it, so I can understand how, if you’re attached to other poems I’ve written, this one may feel off.

However, this poem needed to be written the way it is. But that doesn’t mean I’m opposed to editing if anything can make it a stronger piece.
