This is an extraordinary write, very deep and personal...someplace in time I think we've all visited at one time or another. We become numb to if we're lucky, then there are those currents of despair that rain upon our soul so wounding. Captivating read.

Once again you use your unique talent to shed light on small-minded people who look for reasons to attack another. Do not let anyone dim the light from your candle or alter your voice to make it sound weak. Continue to be a light beaming out from your lighthouse shedding light on the malevolent who would shrink you. Shout out! You have many hands and hearts pulling you up. Stand tall!
Excellent revelation of your inner fear and sadness. Beautiful writing, Muse.
