Altered

Healing

You will see a different face

You will feel a different clutch

You will hear a different voice

You will know a different touch

I will see no more hate

I will feel no more regrets

I will hear no more lies

I will know no more threats

They will see, yet still be blind

They will feel, yet still ask why

They will hear, and yet be silent

They will know, and yet deny

Time, I will not lose

Pain, I will not feel

Love, I won’t reject

Truth, I won’t conceal

Dear Christina,

I found this poem to be very powerful. Its subject matter struck a chord within me. The poem is cleverly constructed, with just the right amount of abstraction. Good job! Keep it up!

Very well done. Deep, powerful.
