Thank you very much for your kind words about my poetry. To be honest, my poetry serves as my personal diary, and this particular piece is one that makes me feel less vulnerable and more courageous to share. It's a therapeutic journey for me, and I genuinely hope that my words can serve as inspiration and encouragement for others to also express themselve :-)
