Very artistic examples of doubt.
If you saved “I don’t know” until the very end, this poem would flow much better and make the phrase more powerful to me.
I’m not saying change.
Your beauty shines from even your mind.
Keep it up.
Kimberley Ellison replied
Thanks wolf. You’re probably right. This was written (I say written…it kind of just fell out) in bits and pieces between essays and research…I’m not surprised it got contaminated by the un-artistic things I was doing! :oP I will experiment with it.
