I think this is a great and artistic poem. It has wonderful power, and must have taken work, but also much talent. Reading it was a lot like being there, compelling and sad but als hopeful and brave.
I feel we should stay in touch with such feelings inside of us, and this work aids that in a masterful way.
Have you ever thought about writing a similar poem about the plight , the aftermath of a tragic shooting at a school? It is needed.

As children we often \'live inside\' our heads until the bubble is burst, this particular event traumatic for both Bruce and the young D.W. A shared life, an often belated truth and also something espoused by the descriptive \'commonwealth.\'

The lesson you learned that day is a valuable one. Life is indeed meant to be shared with others, and it\'s up to us to make it a positive and uplifting experience for everyone. While we may not always know what to do in the moment, we can strive to be there for others and to stand up against injustice whenever we can. Thank you for sharing your story and reminding us of the importance of empathy and compassion.
