    @kb-writer SO SORRY I’ve neglected to respond!!!  Life is extremely busy right now, prepping for NITOC, last minute decisions, and right now building a new room in our house. So…yeah.  Life is crazy.  But, I’m so sorry anyways.  I should’ve let you know I couldn’t respond for a bit.

    Okay,  so here are my thoughts.  I have some suggestions here that you can take or leave 😉

    What one word has
    the power to              Maybe right here, adding the “feel” to the line before.
    feel broken in
    tiny pieces. I          Love this line break!
    can’t decide how
    to put the
    words together. So
    I keep trying to
    solve the problem. An        Maybe give the bolded words their own line.
    endless stream of
    fragments and
    blunted hope, still
    convoluted by
    my tired brain. How
    can I solve this
    mystery? It
    goes on and on, not
    waiting for me to
    catch my breath. I
    don’t know where to
    start, and I
    don’t know when it
    ends. I just
    know that it will
    have to end at                    “have to” is not necessary and sorta breaks the flow
    some point. That will be
    the moment my
    heart will finally
    snap. 

    Please take these with a grain of salt.  These are just my preferences and thoughts.  Forgive me if I come across as too harsh!!  Just to note, I do love this poem a lot–it makes me laugh when I read it and is just wonderful 😀
