Chloe, everything about your writing is totally amazing. I suspect that it's because you, yourself, are totally amazing.

I love the way your poem poses questions directly to the reader - breaking the fourth wall. It builds an atmosphere of intimacy and inclusiveness that is profoundly intense and challenges us to dig deep into our own thoughts, perceptions and beliefs. You make us do hard work but as you say, 'Release of any truths within us will almost certainly heal us.'

Thank you for this brilliantly crafted piece.

And you're right, 'bafflingly' is hard to say 10 times fast. Lol!!
