I really enjoyed that little contrast you had, as if the first stanza described childhood Tommy, and the second one described the grown up Tommy. And also the way you described the childhood innocence, and then a little bit of adult naughtiness, and also your happiness and high self-esteem, and this shows how important it is to love oneself. I love this succinct write, and yet there is great meaning behind it. I enjoyed reading.
I don't know Tom... I think there have been moments in your life when you understood quite well the feeling of "fear" and its affects on you. Only a fool feels no fear... the person has to deal with theirs as best they can.
To all who know by now - I love you.
For those that don't, I review a lot of work on here, and I expect the same in return, friend me but make sure to have conviction! I'm a horror writer mostly bu.. more..
