I've got the same scream echoing through my own garden.

Lovely complex manipulation of language to fit what is usually inarticulate.

[Lucky Me]

This screams of losing faith in God. I'm an atheist and this is exactly what I went through before I found out that's what I was. No one caught me, no one answered me, no one cleaned my soul up after I had been trampled on. No one but me. You're questioning the reason behind life. Why do people get what they don't deserve? What do people really deserve anyway? And did all that fighting make you feel better once you got what you wanted? Your prayers go unanswered. This has so much feeling in it and gets me on such a personal level. "F**k whoever's not listening" Good line.

Heh, I agree with you, it is choppy. I read it through a few times but its staggered way doesn't detract from it at all. A lovely write.
