Wow, this was colorful and deep. The end was........a tad sad.
Oh my. What a slap at the end. Fantastic poem, Scott.
Wow! That ending felt like a kick to the stomach. Very well done.
Wow, this was so creative and the ending really cut deep. Well done
This one whelms me with its complete relatability.
Loved this piece! Love the way you took so many relatable statements and formed a very poignant, powerful and heartfelt poem! Just FYI, I've included it in my Vocal Deep Cuts 3 -https://shopping-feedback.today/journal/vocal-deep-cuts-3%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
