your words, your lines, you yourself, beauty, pain emotion, but strength. as we all realize, normalcy has never existed, it's just something someone thought they could norm everyone into only to realize they couldn't, we are all to different inside and out. but this poem was beautiful, very sad but we'll make it through as we always do. can;t wait to read more <3 madison

Emotions running rampant, I can feel so much pain, seems emotions just fly out of someone who is under duress. Good Free verse. I personally do not care for all caps in a poem, to me a poem is like my baby, I put all my effort in to carring for it. I do feel alot of emotion and as far as finding "normalicy" in my years I have decided "normal" is what ever works for you. Felt your pain, keep on writting Judy Riley
