    I'm dumb and need this explained to me😅

  • The me is the reading your poem is the me is the liked your poem. Is the me of the Paulitical poem!

  • I feel the brokenness, the stutter of my soul, in this more than any other words I might think to supply. Well done, Paul. So well done & effective I feel a bit light-headed after reading it.
