I appreciate what youre saying about it being personal and not wanting to change it, I respect that.
I've been down the same kind of road as regards these experiences, Im still there really so I know exactly where youre coming from, that's why I commented on this poem. I did see it when you first posted it but I wanted to wait and see what other people said, and then today I decided that I wasn't going to let it slip off the 1st page without a comment, because that happened to my first poem and I know what it feels like, although it has been commented on since.
As regards the capitalization of Hurt, that's dam clever and Im annoyed that I didnt get it. I use the same tool in a lot of my poems and people ask the same question "why the capital" like I've just made a random mistake, and I fell into the same trap when I saw it in your poem. The only thing I would add in my defence is that Hurt is a common surname and I think that a lot of people might think the same as what I did, I think if you had used another word for hurt that couldn't be mistaken for something else, like suffering for example, I would of got the capitalization.
I respect you for what you've said in the defence of your poem and I'll be looking out for your next poem, take care man.
All the best AR
