The rawness and vulnerability here are simply astonishing. I am lucky enough to know a little about this piece's backstory, and you have done the most incredible thing an author/poet can do -- you've given me the chance to experience an emotion that I wouldn't understand otherwise. I am so so grateful that you've shared this with us, Bradley! Sending you so many virtual hugs!!

Thank you, V! I'm glad I published it, but like any good poem, it hurt when I wrote it, and it hurts now. Still, I'll always choose to put my art out there. I tell everyone else to, so I gotta live by my own rules.

I love it when a poem reads like the lyrics of a song, so that's always been my go-to style. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, Angel. I debated publishing something this personal, but I've seen so many people on here allow themselves to be vulnerable that they inspired me to just do it. I'm so glad you liked it.
