"but when you are this far in a dark place for over 10 years its hard to not fake a smile or even really think bout what really makes you happy." i completely understand that part.
I'm sorry, I'm not deep enough to comment on poetry. Not that I'm a flake, it just...always seems to mean something different to me than it does to other people or to the writer and I end up looking like a dork. *shrugs - I'm totally one of those people who will BURST out laughing when no one else thinks shit is funny.
thanks so much for the compliments on my set! you're a sweetheart!
