NoWrongAnswers-- to say that i enjoy reading this piece would be a gross understatement. since you posted it, ive read it over and over (and over) again. ive been in this dusky plane of mind described here so many times; i almost feel as if i have an intimate relationship with each and every word you use. your writing style is precise and poignant, and because of this it entraps the reader in a unique and intriguing way. keep blessing the forum with your prose.

wow- great work, Warblingwave. i read this for the first time last night before going asleep, and i was taken aback by the level of pure, raw emotion you were able to communicate (and transmit to the reader) in such a short piece. one of many aspects of this poem that i found interesting was the choice of title. i have my own ideas for how to apply this title to the poem (based on my own experiences and interpretation) but im curious-- what was your reasoning? if you don't want to give a backstory, what emotions did you want to transfer to the reader by titling your piece so?

I really love that line at the end-- "At what point do you let go of the anchor and finally let yourself swim?" I feel like I could/should definitely apply that to numerous aspects of my life.
