I Know Just How You Feel

I know just how you feel
I empathise
saying
it was like that for me
so it is wrong to claim
it's beyond comprehension
and
personal to the survivor
the experience is mine alone
really
how can you know how I feel?

Now read from the bottom up.

It remains so disappointing that the well established 'Reverse' form of poetry remains absent from the available forms. How about a competition to promote this?
