Dear Rose Scott: Your poem drew me in and it flowed, just the way I like poetry to flow. It held my interest and it picked up speed as it became obvious how much anger you held inside; but I felt the impact when you said hatred. To increase the intensity, those two words were capitalized! That resonated with me and I had to work through those feelings a few times in my life. What I found out was that those emotions were killing me; not the hated!

Thank you, your poem took me back to those times and I am glad the hated no longer phase me.
