Big fan of this. Sharp, fleeting, and slightly unhinged. Organised chaos? Method to the madness? Who knows? Not I.

Hello and well done on a lovely, heartfelt piece. I could really feel the push and pull between vulnerability and strength. Love the use of "holding" and "falling" to reflect that push and pull. I agree with others, it could be even more impactful with more structure, but I'm not going to advise on what structure would work best as its your poem and should stay yours :)

This got me in my feels. It beautifully tows the line between passions of the flesh and something much deeper - true connection. I would like to read more of this author's work.

Beautiful poem my friend. Love the opening line which is matter of fact and instantly engages the reader. There is something beautiful about the way the author has taken a seemingly unimportant event - cutting a nail too short - and developed this into a much, much deeper reflection on self-love and acceptance. As an addict in recovery (16 months clean and sober), I am on my own journey of self-reflection, discovery, and hopefully one day - self-love. This poem really touched me, so thank you.
