A heartfelt and heart-wrenching write, Alex. We all suffer pain in life, but some go through more of it than others. Writing is a great tool to help sort out inner turmoil. Anyone can be destructive, but it takes time and effort to be creative. You tackle the subject full on here, and you say your piece with power. Kudos to you! Keep writing and keep creating! Regards, Robert.
