Exposure of the most indecent kind
I don’t want these people to find.
My soul feels sick,
So sick if I spoke to you, you’d be infected,
     Imperfect perfections deceive us-
Relieve us,
  Conceive us.
Believe me when I say,
This soul is broken today.

When we laugh indoors
The blissful tones bounce off
The walls like a mosaic
Shattered into a thousand pieces.

"So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully now watch as it destroys me."

Oh wow!  This poem moved me.  I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it.  Amazing write, you've outdone yourself.  Today, we are all broken..

eor, it's good to read you on a regular basis again. These lines continued to draw me in while I read a few times. The content of your writing is becoming more self -confident. Like, I'm not going to take it anymore. Your style is and was always outstanding. Nice.

then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

A true pen never dies, your talent shall last until the day you leave this place.  You are back and stronger than ever
