I do not have much to say about this one. The wave of sadness throughout was very intense. But I felt that in a way this piece was written as something that needed to be addressed. It felt like after all of these years that the speaker feelings were suppressed; it finally reached the point where there came a moment where they were able to get some personal matters off their chest. Which is a very brave thing to do. Speaking up about how matters truly make you feel.
Which is something I am still learning to do.
Very nicely done.
