YES! An Honorable Mention is well deserved here. Your entire presentation is sad but so sweet! We often chase the light to rid ourselves of darkness. The irony is, we make our own brilliance, and our own darkness with our actions and decisions.
Great work poet!
Much Love & Respect ♥

I think your comment is more thought-provoking than my poem
haha.
Thank you for the wonderful comment and applause

I beg to differ! Your poem needs no editing. My comment surely does...
Thanks for the response but in critique of my comment:
"The irony [is,] we make our own brilliance, and [our own darkness with our] actions and [decisions]."
Why not write it like this?
"The irony; we make our own brilliance, and blithe by our actions and reactions."
Great Work Poet!

Haha! you put more time into your comment(s) than i put into the poem
Perhaps we should just agree that both my poem and your comments are equally well-written?
Thanks
