DDX: You're welcome even though that wasn't my intention. Poetry is more than just a hobby for me. It's the only way I can express my feelings into words without it sounding jumbled up, corny, and/or awkward. I may not seem like it, but I'm very awkward in real life.

That kind of poetry is what I can appreciate more. I'm trying to get better at just expressing reality for what it is, and not to over-exaggerate. I think sometimes we exaggerate pain because it's hard to convey in simple terms.
