A brilliant, scathing and: A brilliant, scathing and accurate indictment of the soulless, corporate chains that the masses must drag from day to day. Brutal and imaginative and spot on. Great stuff.
Your poems, full of faith,: Your poems, full of faith, hope, love, and a clarity on how to achieve each, are modern day psalms to a troubled world.
Thank you for sharing this gift with us.

LINDSEY DIWD 'RAVENLOVE' = I LOVE DYIN' WRDS! 'AVE? LEND!
Excellent questions that: Excellent questions that can only be answered by someone with an empathetic and understanding heart. A cold, insensitive soul would, well, dismiss them.
Really feeling this! Well said, gentle Poet.
Not being in someone's: Not being in someone's thoughts at all is perhaps less painful than being an afterthought. We've all been there, but that doesn't make it any easier. A very identifiable feeling, precisely and skillfully expressed.
Although the pain here is palpable, the expression is essential. This poem was an act of release, of purification: a necessary step on the road to healing. God bless.
Very relatable. What helped: Very relatable. What helped heal my wounds was finally realizing that I deserved better. Sounds too simple and cliche, I know, but self-worth seems to be the panacea of the heart.
You expressed this with poignancy and clarity.
An aching, honest and melodic: An aching, honest and melodic cry that cuts deep, rings devastatingly true, but chimes so beautifully. The image of a leaf on a vine out of reach is particularly stirring.

This is a very powerful..: This is a very powerful, well written piece which clearly expresses both your anger, frustration, and eventual acceptance of what must have been a very painful episode of your life. Well done. You mention you have another 12 years to go on probation. As this was written in 2013, that would mean your probation would end next year. You won't be a slave to the penal system anymore. If you're not a slave, would that make you a master? I, for one, believe I am. A master who believes in probation. Yes, I'm definitely pro 'master'-bation.
" . . . Like me they are fugitives of sameness . . .": Being surrounded by numerous poets here who are far more trained in poetry than I, all I can say is that I was moved by this poem especially the line cited above.
