Wow.

I don't mean to sound cliche or anything, but that's a really powerful poem. The address and phrasing still feels "real," even with the rhyming couplets (I tend to worry that my poems sound too sing-songy when I do that, but yours definitely doesn't). Definitely gets across the emotion. The repetition and play with wording structure/resonance, especially in the last stanza, is really good.

And hey, how are you doing?


Drown in the music,
dance in the rain,
block out the thunder,
and let the scars fade.
