I got my re-writes done. When I just practiced reading the first one out loud (since I have to make a video, ugh) it made me all teary-eyed. I must be on the right track now. Thanks for the help y'all!

You might be on the right track for more deeply expressing yourself, but it’s really your readers who will judge that. The worst, most open poem in the world can move its writer.

So the trick really is to balance the formal demands of poetry with communicating to the reader.

Probably why I never did a workshopping thing before... my fragile little ego of the past couldn't take it. I can take it now and learn from it.

Thanks though. I appreciate your knowledge.

Sorry about that.

I thought trying an example might be clearer than me trying to explain what I meant.

And here I thought you were just showing off your mastery of the second-person perspective.

Quite beautiful, in my humble opinion.

I think previously you mentioned searching for an alternative job?

Good memory - I am looking for another job. I only work part-time so hopefully I can find something soon. After tonight's shift I'm on vacation for two weeks

Management does need to get someone in that can help me do my job safely. I sent another email to the GM. They really like me so hopefully they take it seriously. They need to either get a new night auditor or allow me a second security guard for my shifts - or both!

Sent T an update last night thanking him for session and said how I’m doing ok, plus a bit more than that. Kinda wished he’d sent a “glad to hear that” or something, but I imagine I’m expecting too much...

In my stupid googling of my exT I came across a very personal piece of writing of his it made me wonder if I should alert him to the fact that it is google-able with just his name and modality or should I leave it? It is personal about his use of rituals now I am too scared to google him I didn't really want to know anything that personal

Leave it - don't contact him is my advice

If I might make one more suggestion - rewrite and then wait and look at them again at least one more time before sending. I find reading out loud to be useful in terms of flow, rhythm, and word choice.

Second person is my favorite voice to use.
I was influenced by a lesbian novel - This is Not For You by Jane Rule early in my coming out novel reading phase. Then of course Bright Lights, Big City was also fun.
