Reflecting on the Past
sorenbarrett said:
It was the writing in this poem that captured me. The use of the background offered at first in the flag and its meaning and followed up at the end to tie it together, the first person and the use of soliloquy type speech as if talking to oneself that pulled me as the reader along. The continual use of questions to emphasize points brought power to the meaning and the topic itself of abuse and its darkness and the question of where blame lies was a strong topic. On top of this the use of strong images (being drug by the ankle) (under a blanket) while blows rain down add to the power of this piece. It is not flashy, or flamboyant but speaks with the power of the powerless and the strength of the strong. A fave

I hear the pain from the past in this poem. It screams out to the listener of past injury and unhealed sores. There is a feeling of protectiveness and wanting to shield a child from the world. A sad poem of regret and hurt. Nicely written

A sad and emotional write of someone low on self confidence and self worth, with a lot of pain and hurt inside, well expressed in the writing.

The After
Poetic Licence said:
Quite haunting and emotional read, self harming is a desperate and very damaging thing, hope fully writing out how you feel will ease the pain a little, take care
